1) On what basis do you come to the conclusion that Moidecarponn = abuse? (For those who do not understand Konkani, Moidecarponn means the quality of being a person from the village of Moira. jc seems to be creating a new stereotype which suggests - ALL the people of Moira are Abusive) 2) Is your reasoning jc, if indeed there is reasoning behind your slur, based on inductive or deductive reasoning? 3) If it is inductive what is the principle on which you make this statement? 4) If it is deductive quote the statements from which you reached these conclusions? 5) Let me put a hypothetical case before you: if I said that Bahamanian doctors of Indian origin are just dirty old men with dirty old minds, would it be right on my part, if I were to come to this conclusion on the basis of just one or two examples? 6) Do you think you gain anything, apart from an ego-trip, to randomly abuse other people the way you do? RESPONSE: Dear AP, It is so delightful to hear from you. You do ask reasonable questions. Some words are too elitist for my simple mind. Even so, please allow me to get straight to the meat of the matter by responding to Q5 (hypothetical as it might be) Here is my answer: IF you can provide ONE solitary independently verifiable example of a "dirty old mind" in the population sample referred to by you, I'd say that you would be justified. Now, would you like me to refer you to Abuse perpetrated by Moidecars right here on Goanet? And .... would you (additionally) please advise us of what Moidecars are famous for .....and why? jc
