Now since you choose to indulge in grandstanding and running around in
circles instead of responding to direct questions, and would prefer the
safe confines of ambiguity, I will draw my own conclusions in identifying
the reasons for your insiduousness in this thread :
# 1 - You draw attention to Tony Martin because he said what you wished to
say but don't have the mettle for, which is to criticize the DES.
# 2 - You started at me because I silenced Gllenda's constant abuse of the
Catholic Church in Goa. Something you were happy was happening.
# 3 - You would prefer to intimidate me into not contesting your nonsense,
just because I'm a member of Goanet Administration. Another form of
censoring.
# 4 - You would rather demonize than discuss as you have done here over the
years.
Bosco,
It is not surprising that you have come up with some more calumnies in your
post. Now, let me debunk your above presumptuous assertions, starting with
#2, because you seem to be so embroiled and hooked on it, while desperately
trying to drag me into your aberrations instead of focusing on the real
issues plaguing the educational system in Goa.

Response:
False! This is a blatant lie and unfounded accusation. Neither had I any
intent to get at you on account of your silencing Gllenda as you stated
above, nor is there any evidence to support this lie.
Bosco, it is interesting to know that you want me to fight your battles for
you. In fact, you did very well in silencing Gllenda; I donÂ’t understand
why you would be seeking my help in this respect? If you need support, I am
sure you have your usual Goanet supporters at your beck and call. I donÂ’t
understand why you want to drag me particularly into your personal contest
with Gllenda?
On the contrary, isnÂ’t it interesting to note that you were silent all these
past years, when a Goanetter was regularly ridiculing peopleÂ’s religion and
religious beliefs, while another individual was vehemently attacking the
Vatican, Pope and the Church?
I did not recall you saying anything then in support of the Church or the
Vatican? Now, why this sudden change of heart? I did not complain when you
did not say a word, while I was confronting the obnoxious attacks by the
above Goanetters on other peopleÂ’s religion/religious beliefs, the
Vatican/Pope or the Church. Why are you now suddenly embittered and
targeted me for not joining you in silencing someone whoÂ’d attack(ed) the
Catholic Church?
Please donÂ’t drag me into your controversies -- as you seem to pick and
choose your battles, based on who your friends are, on Goanet. Surely,
those who (earlier) slammed, slandered and/or ridiculed the
Vatican/Pope/Church or religion and religious beliefs, conveniently escaped
your curiosity and attention, all these past years.
Now, looking at the sequence of posts, you will notice that I entered into
this discussion only after Albert Desouza posted his Feb 19th post, and even
so, I changed the subject line to read: “Education in Goa” (and not
“Catholic Schools” which was the original thread.) My post on Education in
Goa, had nothing to do with your battle with Gllenda. My input was based on
the following statement posted by Albert D'Souza:

Response:
You can very well deduce from the above, who is doing the demonizing by
piling accusations on me, and dragging me into your squabble with Gllenda.

Response:
I cannot imagine how I can intimidate (or censor) the all powerful Bosco,
who enjoys the privileges and powers vested in him as Goanet
AdministratorÂ…in silencing others. :-)

Response:
Tony Martin is not the only person who has spoken against the current
“dysfunctional” educational system in Goa; there are numerous other netters
who have criticized the current system, -- and all of these posts are
available within the archives of Goanet.

In response to your query, please note my kids will not go to school in Goa
as their parents don't live in Goa. They would, if we lived there. Again
I'm surprised by your query after you pleaded in your last message not to
get personal. I suppose you want it one-way only.
Response:
Good for you Bosco. Surely, we can see -- whatÂ’s good for the goose is NOT
good for gander. If folks who live in Goa can send their kids abroad for
education, canÂ’t those living in the West send theirs to Goa -- where
education is purportedly of good standing according to you? :-)
No, I am not the one getting personal here, and it is you who wants it
“one-way” (i.e. Bosco’s way or the highway.) Now, how do you reconcile
with the fact that some of the policy makers and politicians in Goa, who
advocate a “dysfunctional” educational system, saying it’s the best for
children in Goa, conveniently send their own kids to English medium schools
or abroad for education? Do we see “double standards” and hypocrisy here?
I hope that good sense will prevail so you ‘cease and desist’ in making
further unwarranted and unsubstantial accusations. I have already cleared a
bunch of aberrations, fallacies and calumnies in your subject posts. I do
not wish to waste my efforts in frivolous exercises of this nature.
Best wishes,
Joe Vaz
