I feel good as an oncologist for refusing to continue to discuss cancer management with Santosh. I hope other experts take my lead and turn him down, when he engages any of them in a tit-for-tat and blatant intimidation; while he is actually learning from his counterpart. Surely many are going to be taken back at this characterization. So let me expand.
As a scientist, (which he frequently touts), he is only an expert in a very narrow field in which he may excel. Beyond that subject, his knowledge, despite his myriad of "authoritative" postings (directly summarized from the web), is no greater than any other goanetter. Many goanetters have alluded to the web-links of his Goanet postings. Santosh cannot have it both ways. Either he knows more and more about less and less (a.k.a. little); or he knows little about everything. As a specific example of his inability to analyze what he writes (in a haste to keep up with his volume of posts), here is an expose. Anyone with half-a-brain would question the following post prior to posting it. Based on what is written, if a person develops one of the cancers listed below, does scientific expert likely say to the relative-patient - "No worries. Go and celebrate. Take a whole month's vacation in Hawaii and then another month to Thailand and then another month in India",... because the cancer (listed below) is 'now completely curable even in advanced stages.'" Or will a responsible person suggest to take the patient to the best place, asap, to maximize the chances of cure? Clearly Santosh tries to shine by denigrating others and parasiting or distorting their writings. I hope this post is preserved in the President Pandurang library; so that his posterity will appreciate the reputation of the scientist in their family tree. I hope his library also archives the obnoxious private posts he write to others; abusing and threatening them (which the Goanet moderators are aware off). Surely this will generate another spate of abusive posts from him and his sidekicks. Yet many of these 'intellectually incoherent' posts from him and his sidekicks can be amusing, if not really entertaining. Like his opening line below, while getting his the list of cancer that are "completely curable even in advanced stages" fresh from a web-link.
