The second pretty innocuous post of mine which did not seem to come up on Goanet.

Subject: Fw: A plea for some sanity on name calling
Goanetters,
Some time ago, some others and I had objected to the usage of the word
"bharatis" when used in a derogatory way, especially with a small 'b' in posts. The effect was positive up to a point I think. I now find the use of the word Cannuckistan for Canada just too absurd for words.
I had also once implied that, for Goans in different parts of the world to compete in terms of "we are better off economically etc than you guys" as rather childish.
Hence, my sincere plea, once again, for some sanity on different forms of name calling please.
