Dear Joe, Goanet is not Thomas Moore's Utopia. It's a microcosm of the world that we live in. I have no doubt that Hindu fundamentalists, Muslim fanatics and Christian bigots lurk in the corridors of Goanet.
Frankly, I was a little appalled that not many Christians with their "rock solid code of conduct" called on Nasci when he specifically referred to some posters as uncivilised Hindu pagans. Frankly I was aghast. If someone had called Christians, ungodly or uncivilised, then I'd be furious and I'd call them on it. With reference to Santosh's writing, I have not come across any that make personal reference of such a nature or derogatory references to any religion, other then in the course of theological debate. Are we so thin-skinned that we cannot tolerate any commentary on our religion? What does that say about us? This will be my last post on this subject. I think it is unnecessarily dividing Goanet along communal lines and if we as civilised people cannot get past our religious sensitivities, than I see little hope for the world at large. I enjoy your posts and I hope this disagreement will not deter us for sharing other views that we have in common.
