In the tone of Monty Python, Life of Brian.

What I wouldn't give for a racist web site to be using my pictures.

While the racist site use is bad, at least they seemed to be talking about
meteorites.

The nut that said I found a house fly in a Martian Meteorite has finally
recanted and conceded it was "Contamination". I am beyond just mad. It was
a photo of a fly! That's all! I didn't accidentally let a fly get in my
meteorite picture!

He is now posting " Mr. Tom Phillips shows ET muscle fiber remains - "
and
"As I said before, Mr. Tom Phillips is the first person in history who
shows clear images of fossilized muscle fibers found in meteorites.
The following figures are marked for numerous petrified muscle fibers
with nuclei, axon and end plate. "

The "muscle fibers" are a barred chondrule in a Santa Vitoria do Palmar
(L3) thin section.

If this keeps up, I will also go down in history as one of the primary
nuts of the early 21st century. Sucked right along with this goof.

It saddens me to report that a racist white-supremacist website is
using some images taken from members of this list. It is probably
safe to assume that these images are being used without permission of
their owners.

I found this website while Googling "lawrencite disease", and
surprisingly the ninth result down on the first page of results is a
racist forum website. A lengthy discussion about iron meteorites
includes some images posted by members of the website. Some of these
images should look familiar to list members. I thought the owners of
these images would like to be aware of this image use.

Here is a link to the Google Search -

content) - http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=223676&page=2
