It doesn't matter whether I am reliable or not, since I am not accusing
someone of masquerading as someone else--a rather serious allegation.
However, since you have publicly accused Chris Vaz of masquerading as
"Joy Braganza", and since you're the only one who allegedly has "proof"
of this, and if you must--O Bastion of Rectitude--smear someone for any
reason publicly, then the onus is upon you to prove your reliability
100%. I have proven to you on GoenchimXapotam that you inserted text
into a quote. Several GXers, and the archives, will confirm this.
In the present instance the only accusation I make against you
("namecalling", as you like to say) is to call you a bastion of
rectitude. I will attempt to prove it, if you insist. :-)

[Goanet] Re: Goan 'Kokno' used derogatorily
In one of the articles relating to the murder of Father at Macazana posted on the GoaNet,One of the readers had written "What was the father doing with the HINDU BOYS at night". My objection was to the word HINDU used here which i feel is not in the right spirit. Few days back I posted one article about the sufferings myself and my catholic friend Mr Emanuel Carvalho had to suffer at the hands of KONKANI PROTAGONISTS AT AGACAIM AND VELSAO during KONKANI agitation in 1997. I avoided using Catholic word then.The reason for the article was that I do not want similar agitation against ANTI MOPA AIRPORT destructing common man's property.

[Goanet] Re: Goan 'Kokno' used derogatorily
I fail to understand how Konkno can be interpreted as a derogatory word. It means "Hindu" and nothing more. Looking at the word closely, I can assume its etmology comes from the word Konkan. I also don't understand how the word "b b**" was thought to be derogatory. I don't know about you Bardezcars but we Shastikar use it as a team of total endearment. Ofcourse we are a gay people. :))) --- Manoj Ganpatrao Raikar wrote: > It lools like GoaNet is only for Catholic > subscibers,i am a hindu (goan kokno) > and when i read hindu word being used in a > derogatory manner,i really feel bad. >
