re: Abusing Moidekars is unwelcome. Dear Dotor
May I reply to your queries in-line: jc: You do ask reasonable questions. Some words are too elitist for my simple mind. AP: I love that oh-so-innocent tone you use. Most people on this forum and I certainly are aware of your mastery with words. jc: Even so, please allow me to get straight to the meat of the matter... AP: O dear! So you simply want to dodge my questions and confirm what I expected viz. there is no reasoning behind your abuse of the villagers of Moira - it's just your delight at abusing, in a very sophisticated way no doubt, those whom you chose to be your victims for the day. jc: ... by responding to Q5 (hypothetical as it might be) AP: But Dotor, master of the language as you are, surely you, more than anyone else, are aware that my question was not merely hypothetical, but also rhetorical. You know very well that I am saying that I am not willing to go about stereotyping people, certainly not an entire village and certainly not an entire country, on the basis of a few encounters that I have had. So all those silly challenges that you throw are irrelevant. jc: And .... would you (additionally) please advise us of what Moidecars are famous for .....and why? AP: Well the village is famous for originating the plantations of large sized bananas, and onions and other such excellent vegetable products. It also has thrown up a number of talented individuals in a variety of fields like Jack de Sequira in politics, Charles Correa in architecture, Teotonio de Souza in historical studies, and Sylvestre Nazare the nuclear scientist and so on. And it is a village which is unique in the unique form of humour they created, in the form of famous folk tales that make fun of themselves, unlike, quite unlike most other people, who delight in ridiculing others.
