Dear Mervyn,
How many times do I have to remind you that GoaNet is Rico's personal turf
and fan club. You and me exist here at his discretion and he decides who
can post what.
Now recently he has discovered Whatsapp Groups and is running them
similarly and disastrously by just kicking out anyone
There appears to be a symbiotic curse associated with being a Goan. If you
are born in Goa, there is an exponential drive to emigrate and the
likelihood of dying an unsung hero. If you are born elsewhere and immigrate
to Goa, the bets likely are you will eventually find yourself swimming
upstream
Dear Dom,
I find your post ridiculously reductionist and propagating the same
stereotypes that we blame the outsider for. There are so many nuanced
in-betweens that you conveniently ignore. I expect better from a thinker of
your stature. Dramatic hollow soundbytes is not our way.
Cheers!
Cecil
