My only comment is that I don't think X's hostility towards Bruno
started when he mentioned the question "Goedel?" in class. That, in
itself, should not be sufficient to earn the ire of even the most
seasoned of psychopaths. Instead, I suspect the relationship soured
badly during Bruno's end-of-studies dissertation, probably because
Bruno had an inquiring mind, and X just wanted him to focus on his
own
research interests (not an uncommon occurrance - I had something
similar in my PhD, but without the consequences Bruno
faced). Nevertheless, that doesn't excuse X's actions, which remain
appalling by anyone's standard.
Why so circumspect about the identity of X. With so many mentions
it would be easy for anyone to dig up to whom "X" refers, so why not
just use his name?
I avoid the name, because I want to avoid complications. I can tell
you out-of-line if you ask, and I might once day make public the
prosecution files.
He is an obscure guy, without any serious publications. Since those
events I got phone calls by people who attribute him many suicides,
and the facts that he exploits other people by pushing them to do
mistake, and then he exploits the pressure (shakedown, blackmail) and
things like that.
It is harassment by manipulation. He was almost a friend, always nice
and funny with me. It took me 20 years to figure out the manipulation.
Well, it took me to put that thesis down, as he was forced to make a
public move.
It is a sort of serial killer, without a trace. Many people were
shocked by his behavior, and even more by the fact that he got
protection from above, and has been able to pursue his violent
actions. He was a sort of genius in demolishing people (and then even
computers) at a distance. A mind hacker. He was not a bad teacher. I
did appreciate him and his teaching very much, despite he told me that
there was nothing interesting in Gödel's theorem. He has been also
alcoholic for some period, and heavy chain smoker, even in the
classroom (that was accepted long ago!).
As the logician Maurice Boffa was also a member of the jury of non
acceptance, I would like to insist that it was not him. On the
contrary, Boffa realized the manipulation and try hard to defend me.
Boffa was a real, and notorious mathematical logician, with many
important publications. Like Smets, Gochet, VandenBussche, Boelen, and
others, he died soon after those events.
