Hi Selma:
You dont have to be fearful to voice an honest opinion, unless you know
that the opinion is mala fide, ill-intentioned (or mockery of religion or
religious faith). In this case ones conscience is usually the best judge.
It is nice to read your scholarly advice and encouragement to Santosh
Helekar to continue what he does best i.e. resort to name-calling, and
ridiculing religion.
For every one person, you offend, there will be two
that you will educate and perhaps convince to your point of view.
Are you saying that people should follow in the footsteps of Santosh and
ridicule other netters in the way he does: For example:

Now, if you guys like to hoist yourself on the pedestal of rationalism, go
ahead. Leave the Catholic Church alone! Your cheap potshots at the Catholic
Church speak more about your intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy than a
faith and tradition that is more than 2000 years old."And the forces of
evil shall not overcome it."
Rohit.
In response "Santosh Helekar" wrote ridiculing Rohit on GoaNet:
Dear Bhatcar Satyamevajayate,
Thanks for your email. We have already filed for protection in the
bankruptcy court. If you are asking for donation for a religious cause, we
have no money to contribute in your pot-shot. We can only provide you moral
saapport against the forces of evil. These evildoers have to be punished. We
can send Forsu to hoist your flag on a pole. He cannot hoist it on the
pedestal because both pedestals of his cycle are broken. Forsu charges Rs.
25 for this job. You will have to pay the money. We are bankrupt. Please
give him Rs. 50. We want Rs. 25 for eating.
Forsu will meet you near the Catholic church alone. 2000 years old? No, it
is only 200 years old. Regarding rationalism, our society is closed. All
ration cards have expired. You cannot do tradition on our stock market right
now. You can only play motko in Bosteaoanchem bar. You can also drink a lot
of spiritual drinks there. You can become an intellectual after drinking
spiritual drinks.
Yours faithfully,
President Pandurang Fernandes
Dhovi Khopti
Independent Republic of Chimbel
