Before this particular subject got unfortunately subverted on to a tangent by Prof. Sebastian Borges, I had asked Augusto Pinto a few questions. These questions were directly related to some very (IMO) uncorroborated charges made by Augusto against some prominent Goa based Goan journalists.
The intervening ofuscação caused by Borges interventions having been noted, I return to the questions which I believe would merit from answers. So ...here it goes: THE AUGUSTO PINTO CHARGES: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2013-August/233708.html it is sad that Devika, Pamela and Mervyn who represent various upper-class if not necessarily upper-caste strands of opinion among Catholic Goans on the Herald chose to kill the story thereby silencing a voice which represented those lower than theirs. THE AUGUSTO PINTO LAMENTATION http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2013-August/233480.html I feel sad for people like Frederick Noronha, George Menezes, Pamela D'Mello, VM, Santosh Helekar, Jose Colaco, Jose Lourenco, Cecil Pinto and others who otherwise like to wax eloquent on all and every subject. Why the sudden silence now? THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (inter alia) http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2013-August/233725.html 1: what specifically have the two priest done? 2: do you have documentary proof? 3: name the person/contact who advised you "a prominent employee automatically blocks such reports to protect the Catholic Church" jc
