I always thought that English was a simple and precise language. It appears
that there might be some among us, who do not agree with me on this. So be
it.
This is in response to Fred/Frederico/Rico/Fredrick Noronha's response to
False Adverts, and a possible Conspiracy of Carelessness?
Fred Noronha's points are excerpted and noted as FN. My responses follow
infra.
jc
===
FN 1: < I would appreciate if you could show the decency of calling me by
the name I call myself, rather than the one I was BORN WITH... even if you
see a CONSPIRACY in the switch-over!>
===
when asked to publicly IDENTIFY the GUYS who HE(Fred Noronha) says "propound
this
colonialism-started-in-1961 theory":
Frederico Noronha wrote on GoaNet May 31 2006: <Among a handful of others,
mainly those
Colaco types. Bernardo, Paulo and Jose, for instance. >
FN 2: < This is my point of view, and I am entitled to hold it. I don't see
how you can label someone else's perspective a LIE (that too, in caps) so
persistently, just because you have access to a media called cyberspace a
few keys away.>
===
FN 3: It would be particularly interesting to hear from you if you believe
that .. the Portuguese were indeed a colonial power in Goa,....etc
===
FN 4: <Unfortunately, a handful of expat Goans seem to believe that the
blame for ALL of society's ills can be thrown at the door of the media....
First we SAW such a perspective from Jose Colaco>
=====
jc's response:
re FN 1: Henceforth, I shall certainly address you by the name you call
yourself. Incidentaly, you may be one of the few (or many) who was BORN with
a name. I believe (and this is NO perspective) that the rest of us were
GIVEN names a little AFTER we were born.
As far as 'conspiracy' in the alleged switch over of the name is concerned,
I wouldn't call it a conspiracy. From the little I know, a conspiracy needs
more than one person to collaborate. Factual and practical convenience, may
be ....conspiracy ? ...I am in no position to know. Hence, I will offer no
'perspective' on it.
====
re FN 2 and HOW I could 'can label someone else's perspective a LIE (that
too, in caps) so
persistently':
Fred has made a STATEMENT of IDENTIFICATION. He has NOT offered a
"perspective". If he
wanted to offer a perspective, he would have said so. Then I would have been
in a position to say that the "perspective" was accurate or erroneous.
BUT ...Fred made STATEMENT of IDENTIFICATION. If it is not the truth, it is
a LIE! No point in doing the fugdi around it. It is a LIE, a LIE, a LIE!
====
re FN 3: I will certainly advise you of my position. However, I will NOT
respond to the wishes of the poster of LIES - unless those LIES are
withdrawn.
====
re FN 4: I would like to see WHERE it is that "we" SAW such a perspective
(from Jose Colaco) which threw the 'blame for ALL of society's ills at the
door of the media'.
Or is it a case that we can LIE, and that that too, repeatedly and
blatantly, just because we have access to a media called cyberspace a few
keys away?
Just imagine IF the rest of us did NOT have 'access to a media called
cyberspace a few keys away'. Then, we may have had NO choice but accept the
PERSPECTIVES of the watch-dogs who underwent a switch-over and became lap
dogs of the politicians.
