I am refuting below all the bogus claims made by Fernandes. --- On Thu, 8/19/10, Jim Fernandes <amigo...@att.net> wrote: > > Helekar brought in Teotonio to bolster his argument that he > is dealing with a supposed Goan intellect and therefore my > line of questioning Helekar's motive, would become > off-limits. >
The above is pure nonsense. Teotoniobab's name was included because I was copying and pasting a response to his comment on Goa Research Net. My response explained exactly what I wanted to say about the study. Inclusion of his name does not give Fernandes a license to abuse Teotoniobab on Goanet. > > For the record, I only stated facts about Teotonio - there > is no question of abusing him in any way.

Please see his quote below: "I have some serious issues with the credibility of Teotonio's views and his writings about the Portuguese." ....Jim Fernandes What credibility or scholarship does Fernandes have to question the credibility of Dr. Teotoniobab De Souza on Portuguese history? > > My response: > "Merely cced a few posts ...." ?

He didn't. > This is a blatant falsehood. I removed Fernandes' name from the cc list as soon as he announced that he did not want to be on it. My first cced post to him on that list was on July 2nd and my last cced post to him was on July 5th. So it is exactly 3 days, not "a month or more" as he claims. As far as his receiving emails from others in other threads which were cced to me, is concerned, I can see that the last email by others was on July 25th, so again Fernandes is deliberately deceiving Goanetters, even on that front. In that time we received the most filthy and obnoxious email on that mailing list from Fernandes, and public threats against me on Goanet, as well as against another Goanetter on that list. Any sensible Goanetter would realize exactly where the problem and blame lie in this case. Cheers, Santosh
