Mutual interest, but some basic difficulties in communication…
____


Los Angeles, April 16 – Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Joseph Zernik, PhD, released excerpts from an email chat with Deputy Marshal Darcy Smith, "District Threat Unit", Central District of California.

The communications demonstrated some common interests by the parties. However, there also seemed to be some basic level of miscommunication:
The Deputy Marshal preferred phone communications, while Dr Zernik preferred written communications;
For reasons, which remained unclear, the Deputy Marshal claimed the Dr Zernik had fooled her in the past, and
Dr Zernik seemed unhappy about lack of appreciation by the US Marshals for his efforts for the common good.

There are not enough hours in the day to cover all the cases that people approach me about...

Written communications are more reliable, less amenable to manipulations.

Subject: Working for the common good...

You underestimate the efforts. Publishing on the internet is only part of it. Combined with publications in peer-reviewed scholarly journals, presentations in academic conferences, communications with international bodies and leading world experts, it is time consuming, but I find it a worthy effort for the common good...
