Mario responds: Another nice example of irritable polemics, Philip, but still no discussion as you yourself demanded. We all know you own a dictionary, pal. What we still don't know is what you think about the issue you barged in on, which was Aloysius' dismay that non-Goan-Indians - like you for instance - are buying up property in Goa, and that Goans who are selling their properties are short-sighted.

Good luck. Mario asks: Philip, Do you have any specific comments about the merits of my original post or the post I was responding to that you would like to discuss, or are you just chronically irritable? So far all you have done is to confirm you own a dictionary, without addressing any of the main issues in the post. Since the original post was by Aloysius, and I was responding to him, it seems like it was YOU who has barged in here, which is fine, but you haven't yet addressed the issues, and seem to be trying to teach us English. You seem to be ignoring the fact that Aloysius was complaining about Goa being bought-up by non-Goans, specifically Indians. Unless you are of Goan origin, he was complaining about people like you. He also criticised Goan residents who were selling their properties as short-sighted. I was defending the rights of anyone to buy or sell property in Goa. What part of this dialog did you not understand? If you did, do you have anything cogent to say about it?

Have you not heard of second homes and holiday homes? Get with it, man! Mario replies: Philip, you seem to have missed the woods for the trees, man! You need to understand what is being discussed before you run to your dictionary. Yes, I have heard of second homes and holiday homes, which my own home in Goa happens to be. However, you don't see me preaching to local Goans about what they, who live there and have a far greater stake in what is going on, should do to solve their problems, or insult them as being short-sighted when they choose to sell their properties. My point was that Goa was not the primary home of the poster I was responding to since he did not live there. Yet he was complaining that property in Goa was being bought by non-Goans and that the Goans who were selling were short-sighted. He specified Punjabis and Gujaratis and it was only a coincidence that he did not also mention Keralites. In falling over yourself to prove a meaningless point, you seem to have also missed my main point, which was that anyone should have a right to buy property in Goa, just as Goans have bought property wherever it has suited them, and that the motives of the Goan sellers was no one else's business.
