Mario replies: I read and re-read my advice to Gabe (shown above), and all I could see was some free advice that would benefit him tremendously. I cannot for the life of me discern anything that could even remotely be considered "vicious, sadistic, bogus and completely delusional attacks" on Gabe in my remarks. Bosco writes: You think very little of Canada's The Globe and Mail and The Guardian from the UK. Mario replies: You forgot to include the Toronto Star, where Mervyn's favorite "journalist", Haroon Siddiqui, dispenses a vicious brand of fact-less anti-American propaganda that Mervyn loves, then hides under his desk when asked to back up his assertions with established facts. Haroon Siddiqui is the guy who had NO CRITICISM of the proven desecration of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem by Palestinian militants, who urinated and defecated in the Church and used pages from the Bible as toilet paper, but continues to assert as fact the retracted falsehoods about the Quran being desecrated at Gitmo in NEWSWEEK. BTW, take any Quran-sized-book and see what would happen if you tried to flush it down any modern flush toilet. All three "newspapers" have about as much credibility as al Jazeera when it comes to describing the liberation of Muslims oppressed by Muslim tyrants. Bosco writes: What was all the angst if somebody spelt your last name Goveia or Gouveia ?? Why were you correcting a fellow Goanetter some weeks ago ?? Mario replies: Bosco, no one is "calling me a name" by mis-spelling my name. What level of logic are you using to compare informing a Goanetter of how my name is correctly spelled with the absurd notion that words are acceptable when used by certain people, but not by others. This is a classic left-wing tactic used to create issues out of thin air. Bosco writes: When somebody does not like the name he/she is being called/addressed, etiquette would demand you amend one's habit. > Mario replies: I like the way you are demanding your own version of "etiquette" after using a tired old tactic of "political correctness" of feigned indignation at the use of a word that your own source described as "Used by Canadians, the word is acceptable in virtually all applications." Bosco writes: And yes, you can call me a Goan Canuck !! I hope you feel better now and we can return to more important issues that affect Goans in Canada. Mario replies: Thanks, Bosco. It DOES make me feel better when I can use a word that is "acceptable in virtually all applications", without being called to task.
