Everyone knows you think Franz is a crank, but AFAICT he's not doing

don't like them and him?  Any books you'd like to burn too?

Do you think I'm the only person who objects to his nonsense?

Of course not.  But you're the only one telling me not to have a
discussion with him.

I did no such thing. I told you that his ravings are on full display
for you to wade through for as long as you can stand them, and he
clearly has no conception of creating a website of his own.

Then you are displaying a personal vendetta.

?!?!?!

What then would you call regularly reading posts by someone you know
you'll always disagree with, just so you can insult him, along with
telling other people not to listen to him?

Are you referring to yourself, or to Franz? When have I ever told
other people not to listen to either you or him?

But then coming in and asking, "What's in those 900+ postings that I
didn't bother looking at over the past three years?"

I didn't ask him to repeat anything here, but just to let me know if I
could read his ideas *somewhere else* --- where it wouldn't disturb
you.

If you've read so little of him that you don't realize that that was
_precisely_ how he will interpret that request, then you are not yet
ready to "engage" him. If you glance through the postings of the many
who _have_ so attempted over the years, you would see the utter
futility of the attempt.

is kind of like John McCain suddenly claiming he's interested in
solving the current economic crisis so he can get out of the foreign
policy debate with Obama on Friday.

OK, that's witty.  (Irrelevant here, but witty.)
