2008/11/30 Frederick FN Noronha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: JC, I apologise for making statements which might have offended your sense of loyalty to the Portuguese Empire of the yesteryears
== Dear Frederick Noronha, My apologies to you are in order - for the following: a: for your inability or perhaps unwillingness to understand simple English b: for your apparent & unfortunate need to spin what is written c: for your inability to answer simple queries that are put to you d: for your ducking and weaving when asked to refer us to references for what you write. I however make NO apologies for asking (again) the following: e: Is FN saying that ANY anti-Colonial movement (Brazil included) was without violent "erruptions"? Perhaps, he will direct us to such a movement. f: Did the Portuguese build a bridge in Daman in the 1980s; the bridge which collapsed? g: Did the Portuguese practice slavery 4 centuries after it was abolished? Concluding remarks on this topic: You are a journalist. You are NOT a partisan political operative. Why do feel the need to spin? Is it artificial, deliberate, acquired or inborn? Talking about 'support/loyalty or opposition' for Colonial Movements - would you say that those (financially OK) families who moved to Poona & Dharwar ( OR the ones who moved to Brazil & Portugal ) during the Salazar era were loyal or opposed to the colonialism - especially the censorship of free speech during Salazar's Goa? Yes - my post is about Censorship. You should know a thing or two about it, FN, Would you not? Once again, I request you FN: If you do not know the facts or basis for what you write and say in public, please ascertain them. If by chance, you make an error - think about retracting the made-up facts that you might disseminate. There is - I believe - NO need to lie (again) Thank you very much Sir jc == from July 2007 - GoaNet ( re: another baseless LIE from Frederick Noronha) when asked to publicly IDENTIFY the GUYS who HE(Fred Noronha) says "propound this colonialism-started-in-1961 theory ..... Among a handful of others, mainly those Colaco types. Bernardo, Paulo and Jose, for instance." Frederico Noronha replied : This is my point of view, and I am entitled to hold it jc ps Novv 30, 2008: On the basis of WHAT, Sir, did you form that "point of view"? Did you have a dream?
