No one has questioned the decency or authenticity of Basilio Monteiro. In all good faith, Basilio Monteiro rendered the written story by Santosh Helekar, without knowledge of the inaccuracies which Santosh later admitted to on the forum.

In hindsight, had Basilio Monteiro been advised of Santosh’s subsequent admission of the inaccuracies in the story, then he [Basilio] would have not posted his last post on Goanet.


Basilio says that:->
1. the statement by Joe Vaz is inaccurate.


Basilio Monteiro in all probability will NOT and cannot refute Santosh’s own admission that there were inaccuracies in his [Santosh’s] paper. He may only accept Santosh’s aforementioned (after-the-event) admission. Therefore, the point of making “inaccurate statements” or “Bearing False Witness” does NOT arise, irrespective of what others have commented on the story.

Now, if you JC want to change the version regarding Santosh’s asserted admission, you need to contact Santosh himself, to change his story. He may oblige you and change his posted admission and, perhaps, rewrite history to make you happy.


Will you do the Christian thing and withdraw it?

No, I cannot withdraw what Santosh has himself affirmed, admitted and confirmed -- a message that is signed, sealed and delivered. Now, will you do the Christian thing and withdraw your accusations and ... “ apparent LIES”?

Re: Your Questions #2 & #3 ... refer my answers above.

4. Why is Santosh being attacked ? Is it because
of his Hindu-sounding name?

No, I have more Hindu & Muslim friends than I have Christian friends, and I respect their respective customs and religious beliefs. Hence, your inferences here are totally wrong! I have NEVER attacked Santosh because of his “Hindu-sounding name” but because of his unprovoked and unabated attacks on people’s religious beliefs and his [Santosh’s] statements such as the following:

[“A lot of people, including I, would strongly object to any censorship or ban of Satanic Verses or any other religious parody in this public forum.”]

Note that my debates have always been to defend a position that I felt strongly about, and the records will reveal that I have mostly defended netters that are even unknown to me.

You cannot excuse Joe Vaz for attacking those who
attack him. My question is
WHO is Joe vaz fronting for?

The above begs the question: WHO is JC ‘fronting for’?
Should JC be excused for his unwarranted attacks?

8. only a select audience of 25 (no students) was present.

The Dictionary meaning of Student: “a student is one who directs zeal at a subject”.
Therefore, an audience with zeal to learn may be referred to as “students”.

JC, you are simply trying to make hay while the sun shines, and riding on ‘hot air’ and 'false pretences'. Some people never learn. Now, has Santosh asked you to deal a new deck of cards? Look who’s scratching whose back. Didn’t I mention the “support-group” in my post?

All the best to you, in your innuendo and false accusations!

Joe Vaz
