**With all that has been going on on these groups, with discussions with
feminists
**from Canada about legal issues in California, and an overarching discussion of
**non-profit financial disclosure responsibilities, it was with great surprise
**that I received a message indicating that Ilena Rosenthal, Director of the
**Humantics Foundation, had attempted to contact my wife, a military doctor who
**has no involvement, whatsoever, in what goes on on Usenet.
**
**This is completely and utterly unacceptable. Not only is it
unprofessional, and
**not befitting someone who claims to be "a Woman's Health Advocate for
thousands
**of women harmed by breast implants," but it goes well beyond the bounds
of even
**uncivilized Usenet debate.
**
**Ms. Rosenthal, whatever the differences you and I have here personally,
online,
**and even whatever differences we might have professionally, this is beyond the
**pale.
**
**Now, I am uncertain as to what has driven you to take this desperate step -
**perhaps it is because I refuse to back down and cease posting the verifiable
**facts about you and your organization, perhaps it is something else, I
simply do
**not know.
**
**But what I do know is that you stepped over the line here. This is a line you
**have crossed before, with others. That much has been discussed here and
**elsewhere before. But that does not make it any more serious.
**
**Do not contact my wife again. Do not contact _ANY_ member of my family again.
**Do not attempt to contact me, or any member of my family, by telephone. If you
**choose to ignore me on this, legal action will be taken against you. It
will be
**swift, and it will be total. No holds will be barred.
**
**And so we do not misunderstand each other, I will be perfectly clear: this in
**no way, shape, or form, prevents you from posting to Usenet, or in any
other way
**interferes with your ability to participate in public debates. If action is
**taken, it will be as a direct result of your provocations.
**
**Sincerely,
**
**Andrew Langer
**
**P.S. - I find it fascinating that for someone who is so adamant about the
**protection of her ability to speak freely on issues, that you would attempt to
**silence someone in so despicable a fashion.

**I am a Woman's Health Advocate for thousands of women harmed by breast
**implants.
**
**I created and regularly post on a Newsgroup created for the sole purpose of
**supporting these women.
**
**Your husband has been harassing and stalking me on the internet to various
**newsgroups.
**
**Were this a part of his "busines" with CEI, that would be one thing.
**
**However, repeatedly he has acknowledged that this obsession with me and the
**work I do is personal and bears no relationship to his work with CEI.
**
**I want no personal attention from Andrew.
**
**Here are the posts he has made referring or interrogating me.

**
**Dr. Langer ... in just the last few days, Andrew has spent hours of his
**"personal" time posting on his version of my activities. He even seems to
**feel I owe him explanations regarding my filings with the IRS, as absurd as
**it may seem.
**
**I do not want any of your husband's "personal" attention. I am a married
**woman and his insistence on harassing me publicly, interrogating me like I
**owed him anything, is frightening.
**
**I certainly hope you have some influence to control your husband's personal
**attention towards me.
**
**Thank you very much.
