From: Samir Kelekar samir_kele...@yahoo.com
I dont wish to respond to Mario of course. The guy who has vowed to do
nothing for Goa himself will only waste my time -- obviously he has
implicitely declared himself as a hot air person --- . For those of us
who have better things to do, responding to guys like Mario is a sheer
waste of our precious time.
Mario responds:
This hiding one's head under the sand is an interesting way to avoid someone
whose trenchant responses one cannot deal with. Far better for one's psyche
and ego to confront easier targets, while making bogus claims about the
inherent tolerance and humanity of atheism:-))
To begin with, while I actually contribute foreign exchange from overseas
anually to the economy and social services in Goa, I wonder how many Goanetters
that Samir communicates with have done something for Goa? I have asked in
the past what Samir has ever done for Goa other than convert oxygen to CO2 and
insult God in the name of tolerance and humanity that he says atheists are well
known for, but it is hard for one to respond objectively with one's head under
a pile of Goan sand:-))
By the way, there are two accusations I have made against Samir, both of which
he has avoided for obvious reasons, a) intolerance of those he disagrees with
on religion by posting a gratuitous, insulting post against God and those who
believe in God, then relying on Selma, Santosh and Sandeep to bail him out, the
first two with personal references that he is not communal, in spite of the
communal nature of his post, and the latter by making up presumptions out of
thin air of what Samir meant, and b) slandering Sonal Shah without any evidence.
