Radsafe:
While this board is mainly made up of health physics "professionals", some of 
whom might even feel some small degree of agreement with the sentiment borne 
of frustration noted above by Mr. Migliore of Envirocare, I suggest the use 
of language of this type is foolish, counterproductive, and even alienating 
to many of the audiences we might be trying to reach. The journalists, 
writers, and even antinuclear activists who read Radsafe at times can only 
tend to feel distanced from information expressed on Radsafe that does not 
jive with their world view if they feel the Health Physics community holds 
their views in such contempt.
