RE: Purpose of the List

["Frey, Steven R." <sfreyohp@SLAC.STANFORD.EDU>]

When will this misuse of this forum end? I am tired of seeing openly-avowed 

anitnuclears use it for their 'helpful' purposes. It is facetious that they claim 

they have a right to be here because of the First Amendment. As I see it, they 

don't. This is a private forum, not a public one, and as such we can deny, and 

ought to deny, membership to those who would deprive society of the beneficial 

uses of radiation and radioactive materials.



They can start their own forum, and, yes, even keep us out of theirs in turn.

Hi Patrick

Does this criticism only apply to me, your friendly anti-nuker, or does it apply

to ALL radsafers who post news articles or other non-technical, opinion pieces?

Just curious, because other radsafers DO post similar stuff at times.



My posting of that press release was meant to inform you all how your friends at

the DOE are giving in to this hysteria over security. Had I had a newspaper

article I would have posted that instead of NIRS's obviously slanted press

release. I mean, of course, any one's press release will be slanted towards their

own cause. NEI has never issued a slanted press release??



Anyway I felt that what I posted was within the bounds of radsafe's mission.



If I was wrong, apologies.



Back to lurkdom.



peace

norm
