[ RadSafe ] Re: Old Germany, Nuclear France and CO2-absorbing USA

[Franz Schönhofer]

Howard,
 Some time ago I intended to send you via RADSAFE an e-mail, stopped after
the first line, but unfortunately this e-mail was sent anyway without my
control.
 There is after your most recent mail to RADSAFE even more reason to say:
 Quo usque tandem abuteris patientiam nostram? "How far will you abuse our
patience?"
 You have sent since your first appearance on RADSAFE hardly anything
acceptable and reasonable. Your "blind" acceptance and defence of LNT is
something one can seriously discuss, but your arguments to support have met
hard criticizm from the RADSAFE community.
 You describe yourself as a "family doctor". I do not know exactly, what
this means in the USA, but I think that the most appropriate translation
into my Austrian German would mean "common practitioner". I visited my
"common practitioner" yesterday at about 6 p.m., had an interesting lengthy
conversation with a lot of valuable advices, but I do not believe, that he
would have been able or willing to join discussions on LNT, not to disregard
the fact that he would of course not know, what this is.
 I draw the conclusion that you only pretend to be an MD, your messages
clearly identify you as a mediocre or even less experienced person in the
field of radiation.
 This becomes even more obvious since you distribute since some weeks mostly
propaganda in favour of the actions of the USA in foreign countries, which
contradict international law and international treaties. This propaganda is
so intolerable, disgusting and contradicting any human sense, that I do not
understand, why you have not yet been suspended from the list or at least
been warned to continue with such messages.
 Finally you seem not to have recognized, that in the meantime hardly
anybody on RADSAFE answers to your ridiculous contributions. You do not even
recognize, that at least one of the respondends fools you continuously.
 Good bye!
 Franz
