[ RadSafe ] Re: salsman / fore rubbish

[Maury Siskel]

This responded to a different site, but I believe it is equally 
applicable on Radsafe. Out of respect for so-called academic freedom, 
I'm not at all willing to reject Radsafe, but Salsman poses no such problem.

 Hi Malcolm,
In this case, I again violated my own rule and did look at part of this 
article. My rule, though frequently violated, is that as soon as I see 
that attribution is to an anonymous source, I discard the article and 
try to disregard its headline.

To me, the distinction between a lie and a mistake is monumental. When 
one gives their name, they are willing to at least accept an obvious 
responsibility. A leaker or anonymous source totally denies all such 
responsibility.  As also do the purveyors of such crap -- the games will 
go on ....

It is only human overlearning through a lifetime of practice and 
reinforcement that we respond so helplessly to words, regardless of source.

Cheers,
Maury&Dog
