One can't reason with the VandeRanter
"sally" wrote in message ... Why does MV keep posting this stuff? Is it because bicycle injuries are so rare? I see newspaper articles about hikers being killed almost every week. And I won't even get into those 3 that were arrested in Iran. Because he's universally known as a nutcase, and no legitimate groups will listen to him. He posts here as a flamebaiting troll. His presentations are made at conferences that include people getting ready to leave for Alpha Centuri and others who communicate with crystals. The following gem of a letter explains it perfectly; "It appears that my looney neighbor, Michael J. Vandeman, Ph.D., (this is how he signs all his letters) is not only bombarding our local newspaper and city council with his rubbish, but also taking up significant bandwidth in discussions with you folks. On the neighborhood front he wants us to dynamite our cars to diminish local road use. Simultaneously he says we should surrender control over our neighborhood's traffic patterns to a 3-billion dollar health care corporation conspiring to close competing hospitals in the area so it can get all the patients. It would appear that in your discussions he is moving on to banning bicycles from certain areas as well. He misquotes, misinterprets, and ignores completely, points made by others. He is impolite. Zealots like him are probably best ignored - they do not respond to facts, rational arguments, etc. Unfortunately, such bigots are often so off-the-wall that they often damage the worthwhile causes they claim to support." |
