[ RadSafe ] Very serious question - please answer!

[Richard Gallego]

Nice post Mike. The truth will always prevail, there is nothing to fear from
his arguments if they are clearly refuted.

I find Prof. Busby's posts useful, as it give me a "heads-up" on the next
bogus line coming down the way.  I can then warn my bosses, and spend the
several minutes spotting the holes in his arguments.  On several occasions
this has proved useful, when a member of the public or a reporter contacts
my organization, concerned about one of these claims (such as a higher
infant mortality on the West Coast of the US due to Fukushima).  I can
quickly shoot back a well developed explanation about why the issue they are
concerned about is not honestly stated, and point out how this is not an
isolated occurrence.  I don't know that I have convinced anyone to be more
discerning in general, but I have reduced the panic level on particular
topics, and shown them that the source is not to be trusted.

I have been a member of this list for quite sometime and I have seen the ebb
and flow of non-technical threads on these pages.  I stay focused on
obtaining the true technical information that interests me and I stay away
from the posts that run contrary to the goal of this list.  I simply delete
them.  If I need to question a member about a specific topic, I contact them
personally.

Respectfully,
Bob Mages

RADSAFErs,

The question which I am going to pose is very serious and has nothing to do
with personal animosity but with severe differences in relevant scientific
questions.

We have at RADSAFE since a few weeks a person posting messages, claims,
attempting to insult several persons at RADSAFE (including me, but I use to
say that somebody like him cannot insult me), spreading comments which have
been marked by knowledgable  first class professionals as being completely
wrong. He adds time and again personal attacks, like "somebody (me)" who has
worked in the business for more that 30 years and is obviously an
internationally reputated environmental radioactivity expert, should go back
to school. His latest nonsense on Po-210 is almost funny and not to be taken
serious.

This person makes his money with antinuclear propaganda. He claims to
published peer reviewed papers in journals, which have been proven on
RADSAFE not to exist. He claims to be an outstanding person in international
"commissions" and "audits" , he claims profound knowledge in radioisotope
analysis, but all he can provide is an obscure laboratory with NaI(Tl)
detectors. Please spare me the effort to show all his unbelievable
statements -it would be a waste of time. 

My question is, whether anybody on RADSAFE believes any single sentence
other than "wheather is fine" from this person on RADSAFE - until now nobody
posted any supportive message. 

Having been so long on RADSAFE, always having appreciated it, met very nice
people there - even personally - I think that this great network should not
be ruined by one single troll. Previously trolls were nice persons, with
whom I sometimes had very friendly and nice exchange of opinions. 

Please reply to me - not only personally but also to RADSAFE. It might be
possible to show the listowner the opinion of the RyDSAFE participants. As I
have previously posted it is not acceptable that postings of world wide
acknowledged specialists are massivly delayed, while such of the person in
question are forwarded immediately. 

Best regards to everybody, except the Raman spectroscopist who turned into
radiation protection world authority.

Franz
