Yes. I mentioned in my opening thread that this guy has been known to collaborate with known "Heterodoxes" (?). He definitely is one himself.
I thought it would be fair to have a look into these guys' worlds to get where they're (really) coming from.
He organised a workshop in 2006 called "International Workshop on Redshift Mechanisms in Astrophysics and Cosmology". The minutes of that workshop were published in 2007.

The presenters were:
Observational facts were presented by Tom Van Flandern (the guy who believes in the Face of Cydonia - Meta Research, Sequim, WA, U.S.A.), Chris Fulton (James Cook University, Australia; in collaboration with Halton Arp, MPIA, Germany), William M. Napier (University of Cardiff, U. K.) and myself (Mart ́ın L ́opez-Corredoira, IAC, Tenerife, Spain, in collaboration with Carlos M. Guti ́errez of the same institute).
Others were in attendance and they presented their alternative theories on Redshift, some of which sound pretty reasonable to me (that's not saying that much, I guess).
There is a valid point in all of this (from the thread paper):
"In my opinion, alternative models are not rejected because they are not potentially competitive but because they have great difficulties in advancing in their research against the mainstream. A small number of scientists cannot compete with the huge mass of cosmologists dedicated to polishing and refining the standard theory".
Putting myself into their position, I'm not sure I could see how a reasonably valid alternative theory could go forward, given the system they're working in.
This is a difficult topic for professionals (& budding ones) to engage in. I'm nothing more than an Amateur trying to learn stuff and hence, I'm not bound by funding requirements or the need to 'toe the line'.
Cheers.
PS: It'll be interesting to see whether there are any more posts to this thread after that clanger !!
