[1] Santosh Helekar wrote/asked: The real question that all sensible and rational Goanetters need to ask is the following:
What credible information and whose credibility assures us that the larger picture is not based on overzealous generalizations from typographical errors, and exaggerated and fraudulent figures? [2] Marshall Mendonza responded thus: The real question that all sensible and rational Goanetters need to ask is the following: What is the credibility of the above poster? RESPONSE: I cannot respond on behalf of all sensible and rational Goanetters. I can only respond on behalf of myself. I would hope that all sensible and rational Goanetters would look at individuals and individuals posts and ask the following questions: a: Does Santosh Helekar exaggerate or massage the truth? or b: While certainly not infallible, does he attempt to justify his statements with verifiable facts? or c: Does he just spread stuff - that too inflammatory stuff - without bothering to check out the details? d: Would he not place a comment questioning the 50 crores bit - IF he had read it - OR would he just disregard it "in the interests of the larger picture"? To be quite clear I will state this: 1: As a practising Roman Catholic, I am disgusted by the attacks (by anyone) on others. This includes attacks - by the self appointed saffron police - on the non-interfering youngsters enjoying Valentine's Day ...or just holding hands in public. 2: As a practising Roman Catholic, I am disgusted by chaps and chappies with Christian names who are attempting to whip-up anti-Hindu frenzy ....based on exaggerated claims. These are the guys who will drive the BJP into the hands of the extremists. 3: As a practising Roman Catholic, I am losing my trust in the reported statements of Justice Saldanha. 4: As of now .....until he corrects or provides proof for that statement, Justice Saldanha is NO practising Roman Catholic as far as I am concerned. 5: As far as the credibility of Santosh Helekar is concerned, only a communal ignoramus will query it. jc
