I'm honest when I say I like Frangs,

You are certainly a person of generous mind, but I must say that I
don't understand you. Myself, I can imagine a different kind of Franz
- one who would insist on his crank theories, but build interesting
fantastic worlds on them and have an interested, receptive attitude to
professional linguistics. What is wrong with Franz is not so much his
Magdalenian theory, but the fact that his vision of the Magdalenian
world has never developed beyond crankish, faux-romantic clichés. If
he were a storyteller like David Gemmell, I would have no objection at
all to his Magdalenian visions.

The real Franz, though, is a hateful crank, who treats other people
like ***. This is his real flaw. There are cranks who are lovely and
nice persons. There are girls to fall in love with who believe in
astrology. Franz isn't a nice crank.

I guess much of what is wrong about Franz is due to his scant and
lacking education. He hasn't even read Russian literature before
recently, for Chrissake. He probably reached his manhood during the
sixties cultural revolution, when everybody believed in something new
and never-before-seen coming to change the world, so that you would
not need to acquire a liberal education or read books anymore - you
would have some kind of inner hippie light instead. Anti-
authoritarianism, rock and roll, Woodstock and all the other ***.

His professed love for the English language and his lack of interest
in exotic languages are part of this. English was the vehicle of the
hippie revolution, thus English is the only language he needs. When he
wants to know about Celts, he shuns both the scholarly works and
respectable English-language renderings of authentic Celtic material -
not to mention the fact that it would of course never occur to him to
learn a Celtic language. Instead, he reads old romantic versions of
myths in a fake-archaic, stilted English which he mistakes for
stylistically rich and beautiful.
