Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:58:22 -0500 From: Bosco D <[email protected]> RESPONSE: Now why does Mario believe he has the monopoly on the truth? Rather who decides what is the truth?? Mario responds: It is very sad when one has to explain to an adult how to tell the difference between a truth and a falsehood. Anyway, let me try, based only on the unnecessary firefight on NRGs versus RGs, first started by Samir by attacking Rajan's citizenship, later joined by Tony D'Sa. The truth is when I said in the NRG Vs RG discussion that NRGs are not the problem in Goa, but rather rampant corruption between politicians and the businessmen who they are in cahoots with. Does Bosco dispute this? The truth is when I listed what NRGs like Carmen, Rajan, Arwin, George, Anil had done for Goa at their own time and expense in response to the attacks against them and all NRGs. Does Bosco dispute this? The truth is when I appealed for NRGs and RGs to make common cause against the corruption that was making a mess in Goa rather than two RGs attacking all NRGs. Does Bosco dispute this? Untruths include attacks against "foren" NRGs by impugning their motives, credentials, citizenship, countries they live in, etc. and saying they have no standing in Goa. Does Bosco dispute that Samir said this in so many words? Untruths include Tony D'Sa a) joining Samir in attacking "foren" NRGs and claiming that "we and only we", i.e. RGs, can solve the problems in Goa, b) claiming that the mess in Goa is imaginary, c) abusing me with accusations of falsehoods when I intervened to blunt their attack, and d) then piously proclaiming that everyone should work together after Selma and Vivian intervened. Does Bosco dispute that Tony did this? Untruths include Bosco's snide insinuation that I have a monoply on the truth, whereas all I have been doing is exposing the truth, whereas Bosco, Gabe and Fred seem to have understood little of what was said in this discussion, based on their factless comments, and Gabe's baseles and abusive attacks on me without a single specific comment mentioned that he disagreed with. Does Bosco dispute this?
