I dont recall any vote or decision being taken by the government. Joe "blessed" Vaz is simply advocating mob rule to suite his extreme religious beliefs.

People are free to protest, but when they threaten others with violence, they are crossing the line. Again, it just goes to show that religious extremists cannot be trusted with following the law and governance. > Marlon: I rather refrain from wasting time with you, > because I find your > writings outright obnoxious, abusive and > disrespectful. just read Goanet > archives, for enlightenment of your demonstrated > disrespect and disregard > for the sensibility of others on the net. --> Really? Just because YOU and a few other intolerant extremists are offended by my factual arguments, does not mean that others are. Again, you provide no statistical evidence to back your claims. > Years ago, I remember the argument you made > objecting to the one-line > birthday greetings someone posted on Goanet, saying > such messages were > hogging space and that the server was running out on > its capacity.

Joe's comments above indicate his total lack of understanding of the issues or represent deliberate lies on his part. For one, yahoogroups had severe quotas during the early days as space used to be a premium then. That is why there were scattered backups of goanet during that period as old files would be overwritten. Secondly, the real issue was the costly, slow and unreliable net connections in Goa. If people were going to send hundreds of public birthday greetings to an individual and flood everyone's mailboxes in the process, it would (and did) have caused major technical and financial burdens on others. Joe's attempt to bring unrelated issues into this discussion is humorous, but it also indicates a severe level of desperation! I wish him better luck the next time, but the bottom line still remains - say no to intolerant extremists. Marlon _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
