Dear Mr Alfred de Tavares,
I reckon you were awake, but only partially so, when you responded to my post on Dr. Willie de Souza!

I say this because you failed to:
a) respond to my earlier email to you, specifically asking for an explanation for referring to the anti-casteists as "fighting like buffaloes." b) note that I did not, repeat not, refer to Dr. Willie as a casteist. What I had said was that he believed in caste. Please check the post. This fact about Dr. Willie's known belief was available in written form a little while ago. Thus, I was merely reiterating this specific point in my email to Jose. I happened to find it useful for an explanation regarding why I felt Dr. Willie may not have opted to leave Goa. Perhaps, my explanatory view was too intellectually demanding for you and why you had to read into my post something that was simply not there. c) that the good doctor is perfectly capable of replying to me if he is in the least bit unhappy about my comment and view.

Finally, please note that I think it is unhelpful to ask someone else to ask me something on your behalf. Your known command of the English language should definitely not deter you from responding directly to me via Goanet. And I promise you that I will not bite your head off!

I am sorry if you feel that I am rocking the boat on the issue of caste among the Catholic Goans. However, I believe that somebody has to do it and that it is time this happened fearlessly and with tenacity. If this makes you uncomfortable, so be it!
Regards,
Cornel

Dear Alfred,
     Perhaps you meant to say that Dr. Willy might have many faults, but
casteism is definitely NOT one of them?
     Regards,
     Victor

Correct Victor, thanks.
