Hi Aristo,
Let me first object strongly to your making a very
unfair statement about TGF. TGF is a free and open
secular public forum. You may be mistaking it for some
other forum or network. And of course, I hope the
arsonist thought is taken in jest by others, as
intended.
As I have stated before on countless occasions,
nobody's perspective, however extreme and disagreeable
to someone, ought to be blocked from a free and
secular public forum such as Goanet. However, the
rules of Goanet have to be strictly enforced by the
Goanet administrators. Otherwise, they might as well
rescind them. Why waste electrons? Frederick's excuses
and rationalizations simply don't wash.
I, Santosh Helekar, must be banned from Goanet if the
administrators determine that my e-glow of pure evil
or some other infraction violates the Goanet rules.
But I think that they should grant a special exemption
from the rules to Goveia, and give him unlimited
chances to refute your arguments, and those of Selma,
Francis, Sunith, Roland, Albert and Kevin, which he
has failed to do so far. You have already realized
that your arguments are impenetrable as long as one
follows the direct and honest, rational approach.
Regarding your arguments not being worm-out proof, let
me submit to you that anybody can worm out of an
argument or demean and demonize its proponent. But
most people do not resort to such evasive and abusive
tactics out of fairness and respect. An argument which
is countered only with such an illicit approach stands
unrefuted.
Nasci has not violated the Goanet rules so far, so he
should not be banned. He has simply vented his
righteous prejudices in an enlightened sort of way. I
think he cannot help doing that because he is one of
those rare individuals (but perhaps, fortunately, more
abundant on Goanet) who are endowed with the e-glow of
enlightenment.
I am pleasantly surprised to note that we share an
alma mater. I must say, indeed, we are the children of
a lesser goddess.
Cheers,
Santosh
