Hi Michael and all, Ive been on the list for about 3.5 years now and I remember very well some of Mikes lunatic rantings, so those of you who have been on the list longer than I have should also remember (and Ive been told that it was even worse before I was on the list).
But, the only thing that I was unhappy about was when you (Michael) talked about Mikes medical issues. I understand that you wanted people to know WHY Michael is the way he is, but its not your decision to talk about that. Nobody should talk about someone elses medical situation in a forum like this. I work for a medical software company and we see tons of patient information all the time. If I were to mention something about a patient, I would be fined by the government and then fired (and I dont even work for the govt). We dont have to worry about that here on the list, but it just goes to show that the govt is serious about keeping private health information PRIVATE, so we all should do the same. Ive seen you have a few lunatic rantings over the years, too, so you might want to be careful (as Eric just mentioned in his last post). I didnt like it when some people wanted to cast their vote on whether Art should let Mike back on the list or not. We shouldnt pressure Art one way or another (so Im not going to vote on it) since he is the boss of this list. Hell do what he thinks is best for the list. BTW, Im glad Mike and Robert are safe now. I dont know either of them personally, but Im sure that they are good people and dont deserve to be locked up in a foreign country.

Eric Wichman Escondido; Meteorite List Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Welcome Home Jim, Gary, Eric and all, No, it is NOT a joke. There is nothing funny about This situation at all. I stated NOTHING in my post Mike has is not born Out in Mike's own public statements. (though Jim informs Me it may have been a different prescription drug he gets Out of Mexico) - hell folks, where have you been? READ THE STINKING ARCHIVES. If you all really cared about Mike's welfare you would Be trying to support him in getting professional help, get on prescribed medication and get stabilized. You are all having knee jerk reactions. Think about it. If Mike were your brother wouldn't you want to see him get proper treatment? Mike is home safe - thank God. While he was in danger I Did everything possible I could to minimize any negative impact On him. The list started yammering about it and I pointed out we Needed to remain silent lest we make matters worse for Mike and Rob. John Blennert gave the talk before the auction and we agreed It should not be telecast, as John went through a very similar situation in Oman a couple of years ago and Omani officials offered him $235,000 to get Mike back on Omani territory (so they could Incarcerate him). John TOLD Mike this upon his return and Mike Acted like John was blaming him for John's incarceration. This is ALSO NOT NEW INFORMATION - but somehow This group seems to think since Mike has been through a hard Time of late we should pretend he doesn't have a problem. Mike isn't going to listen to me because I am strait with him AND NO ONE ELSE seems to be willing to or they somehow just Don't see the self destructive behavior right in front of their face. If you all think everything Mike does does not add up to a Big problem for HIM, or, you just don't get it, or you just don't Think it is your "place" to confront him with his self destructive Behavior -- well, folks, I don't know what to tell you, but I can't Do that to a friend. (Yes, I am sure Mike does not consider me A friend right now - but as far as I am concerned, I am the only One who is really relating to him as a friend). Oh, ya, you can tell yourselves what I have said is not friendly. Well, what I think is not friendly is seeing a brother in trouble and Being unwilling to deal with him about it. I am dumbfounded at people's reactions - do you think that just Because he could have had his hands cut off or been in prison for Years or even put to death that that means we should all pretend He didn't put himself in that position AFTER it was clearly explained To him by John Blennert that Oman was OUT TO GET HIM? - Going to a KINGDOM you HAVE BEEN TOLD is out to get you - Self medicating with serious prescription drugs - Being a business man who regularly bursts into ranting and Raving at potential customers and co-businessmen These are all serious self destructive behaviors. So, Greg, Jim And Eric, if you really give a damn about Mike's welfare Don't just say, "Hooray! You got back safe THIS TIME.", help him get the help he needs.
