Dear Selma, I accept your apology, but again the rest of your post sounds far from apologetic.
You say in your latest post: "Isn't it more important to know the truth about our historical past rather than hide behind hurt?" If it was the truth you were after you should, you could have come to the family in the first place. I have provided you references that tell you eloquently what Dr Victor Manuel Dias was all about. Who is hiding behind hurt? Possibly you, as you have still not provided your postal address and other details. It should have appeared the moment you defiantly brandished your "legal advice" to me. My hurt stems from an unnecessary attack by you on a public forum, and you have yet to provide any basis for any of your statements. I am not hiding behind it at all. Far from it. If I were, we would not be having this discussion on a public forum. You have not answered my questions: 1. Why did not not make any attempt to contact any family member before writing your post? 2. You have apologised for having mentioned "the suspension". Whose? As far as I know, Dr Victor Dias was never suspended from any Margao hospital. If you are referring to Dr Antonio Dias, I would like to know what in particular you are referring to. I have contacted his family as well about this. Please reveal your source. 3. My very own brother, who coincidentally shares my grandfather's name (Victor Manuel Dias) sent me the link. He wasn't instigating me in any way. 4. I logically assumed that you were inserting all this in your book. I quote from your own post: "Since we are naming names, (I went back to my notes and checked this) I can confirm the Goan who was considered pro-Nazi in Goa and kept under minor surveillance by the British was a doctor Victor Dias brother of Anton Dias. He might have been from your neck of the woods Val, because allegedly he was suspended from the Margao hostipal (for another reason altogether which I will not say). Now, now, Val, don't make me share any more. You have to buy the....:-))" (end of quote). You imply in the above post that one would have to "buy the ...." to learn more. I await your document, as also your postal address, and other contact details.
