[ RadSafe ] RadSafe

[Doug Aitken]

Jeff:
I understand the dilemma you are in. however, the problem with allowing him
to continue on Radsafe is that he will be free to cherry-pick statements
made by members and use them with impunity for his own purposes (perhaps out
of context) in other fora (or should I say forums for those who do not know
Latin <G>).

Dan has already suffered in this way (not directly from Salsman, and not
with information gleaned from Radsafe, but the method is well utilized by
these "gadflys" (I like that post, Stephen!).

But I guess in this day of the Internet, anyone can do the same with any
electronic communication, so it is a judgment call for our moderator. I just
worry that having him lurk on the list may make some cautious in expressing
their opinions, not knowing how that may be distorted and used elsewhere.

Regards
Doug

Hi All,

I had a difficult time deciding whether or not to allow James Salsman  
back onto the list as I did know his history.

I do believe in giving people second chances. I realize that at best  
he does not read the papers he cites beyond the titles, at worst, he  
does not understand them. Most of the papers that he cited in his  
early post put the blame for the elevated cancer risk on radon,  
silicon (silicosis), deisel particulates, etc. Blame was placed on  
just about everything bit uranium.

Anyway, I am not ready to ban James at this time. I decided to review  
and accept or reject each of his future posts.

I consider this thread closed now.

Jeff
