[ RadSafe ] RadSafe

[Syd H. Levine]

Our fearless leader has spoken, and what he says is law.  Hesitation to 
wield the power to ban is perhaps understandable (less so for those of us 
who have had to deal with Mr. Salsman for years).

This thread is supposed to be closed; nevertheless, I would point out that 
RadSafe gets indexed on the web, and being a member is not necessary to use 
statements made on here out of context.  However, being or remaining a 
member should be reserved for folks with at least a modicum of common human 
decency.  Contacting a member's employer, and continuing to defend such 
despicable action is beyond any sense of decency.  Being disingenuous, not 
too bright, and a liar has never been the issue; many of us fit one or more 
of those categories...
