[ RadSafe ] RadSafe Rules

[franz.schoenhofer at chello.at]

Dan and Radsafers,

Being a European with a mother language not being English I often hesitate to perceive something as an insult. You, Dan, might have noticed in Vienna, that we have among friends sometimes a very rude language, Nobody feels insulted by being called by a good friend "Du Arschloch" or "Bist du Deppert?", the latter being used as a kind of expression for surprise. However I am so much socialised in the English language that I would not use the English equivalents on RADSAFE! 

There were so many complaints to me and I guess many more to the moderators about some of my comments, that I have stopped taking them serious. If people are not able to discuss openly, feel insulted by any word, then they should refrain from participating on RADSAFE. 

Best regards from a very sunny and warm Vienna to a warmer (hotter)  Los Alamos!

Franz
