I found Rajan Parrikar's prejudices (as expressed in the mail that began
this thread) quite offensive, and tried to point out the dangers
inherent in them. This was followed by substance-less invective from
him. A second attempt to explain my view has resulted in the offensive
outpourings seen above, which remind me of a spoilt brat who sticks his
tongue out and descends to abuse instead of sticking to civilised
discussion.
There seems to me to be no purpose in continuing a conversation with a
person who cannot respect the basic decencies of civilised debate (and
yet talks of other people's s***). I will therefore refrain from
replying to any of his mails in future until he learns better manners.
If he considers this to be a victory for his frankly bigoted social
attitudes, so be it!
If other Goanetters wish to continue with the issues raised in this
thread, I shall be happy to respond to them if required.
