Fr. Ivo, Thanks for endorsing my statement. What is it they say about "great minds think alike"?
I concur that Goans should not / cannot be misled by the few pontificators. But at some point, they should at best, be ignored. After all, why waste time responding to the 'sodanchem kani' (pardon my konkani)? A pointer I have learnt, and which you likely know, but I would like to share with other Goanetters: Do not permit others to define oneself, ones views or ones message. The pontificators can have their full in writing ... and writing ... and writing, hoping to win the hearts and minds of Goanetters. But most goanetters are smarter than they think. Some Goanetters seem to overlook that unnecessary use of strong / derogatory words is really a sign of weakness. Yet they are not likely to change. Like they say in Konkani about the dog and his curved tail, can never be straightened-out. Regards, GL ----------- Fr. Ivo C. de Souza Here you have spoken the truth. I do endorse your statement. ..... Yet, Goanetters should not be misled by a few who are pontificating on the Forum. --------- Gilbert Lawrence Every topic has its time, place and space. By and large, those in the know, are also familiar with, in what forum and where these parameters lie. The technique of demagoguery (commonly used on Goanet) usually is: Create a straw man with a few false statements / assumptions. Then tear it down, while sounding intellectual and articulate.
