Hi Rhadhakrishnan I haven't followed the cancer debate too closely on Goanet but will now confine myself to a few points:
a) Is the "foul-mouthing" you warned young Sunith about, consequent to a possible congenital aberration in a cynical practitioner of foul-mouthing? I am just intrigued that you could anticipate such an unsavoury possibility on Goanet and thankfully warn Sunith in good time. b) What possible bearing can an absolutely snide personal question about Sunith joining a "fraternity of medical scientists" have on his clear right to engage in and not be blatantly undermined and intimidated in an open Goanet discussion about cancer? c) How utterly absurd for a cancer survivor to assume and assert that, someone else cannot have more "standing on cancer" than the said survivor? Can there really be greater stupidity on Goanet than this? d) How utterly preposterous and disgraceful, on a community site for a poster to scornfully say to a young Indian intending overseas student that: "as a developing scholar who fancies himself to have a half-way decent command of English but still hasn't grasped the difference between knowledge and wisdom ...etc?" Quite frankly, to me, such verbiage smacks of totally unacceptable American imbibed arrogance which is then projected through acute patronising condescension upon my fellow young Indian.
