Everyone knows you think Franz is a crank, but AFAICT he's not doing
anything evil such as promoting racial or religious intolerance ---
so *at worst* he could be a harmless crank. Why don't you just
ignore him? Do other people not have the right to read his ideas
because you 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?

I also think Franz Gnaedinger is doing science fiction, not science.

Nothing wrong with that! But the point is that it's _bad_ science fiction (i.e., super-boring). As an avid reader and sometime writer of SF, I'd certainly read his posts if they were at all entertaining. But as it is, no way.

That's two of us obbjecting already!

I don't *object* to them, but I certainly don't read them -- and it'd be nice if he posted them somewhere else, to save me the trouble, slight though it is, of skipping over them.
