I have very mildly clashed with Ricardo previously on Goanet. If my memory
serves me well, it was over his contention that, but for the Portuguese, all
Goans would have been of Turkisk/Muslim provenance. Historically, this could
well have been an alternative reality of course, but it was his implication
that, the Goans ought to be grateful for Portuguese colonisation, because it
was a better alternative, that I had found contentious.
As for his next contention below, that, "all Portuguese came from Goa" (with
or without a smiley), I prefer not to waste my time on obvious drivel.
Nevertheless, I sincerely wish him well with all my heart. What would Goanet
be if it did not receive contentious material?

Mario observes:
I wonder what Cornel is going to say about this
assertion, which does not have a single smiley face?
He got upset with me just for saying that the
Portuguese got their names from Goan Catholics, and my
post was full of smiley faces:-))
