Re: SHOT!, Norm; Franz; Sandy and Mike; lists

[Norman Cohen <ncohen12@HOME.COM>]

To: Tom Savin (per your SHOT comments) Dear Tom,

For awhile there I was convinced you were threatening to shoot me, and I was ready to wear a Kevlar vest under the flame-retardaant clothing I always

put on before reading radsafe. ;-)  Then I realized that I'm neither "ignorant" or 'arrogant", so it must mean that there's some other Norm Cohen you

want to remove from the human race.



To: Franz S. Thank you for you offlist letter. Perhaps we understand each other better now.



To: Sandy Perle and Mike Stabin - Thank you for supporting tolerance and professionalism on radsafe.



To the member who lamented that on 'digest', he's stuck with me, I apologize that I am so undigestible. Try me in little bites, perhaps I'll taste

better. ;-) (thats humor, folks).



A number of "pro-nukers" have joined the UNPLUG Salem list, and there's this new list called Know_Nukes.

On both we are managing to have civil conversations between 'pro's and 'anti's. I am sure that the professionals on this list are capable of civil

conversation also.



Finally, a couple of things: though Sandy and Mike made this point - I just have to point out how silly you all look in writing when you threaten

someone who doesn't agree with you. I could have easily sent Tom Savin's "shoot norm" post to all the anti nuke lists and gave them a real good

example of professionalism on radsafe.

I didn't and I won't. And, please consider not questioning my salary or who I work for, or trying to find me a new profession. I have never said to

any of you all, for example, "go get a job in solar power". I have never questioned your opinions because you happened to be employed by a nuke power

company.



Whether you all believe it or not, I do learn a great deal from reading and participating in radsafe. I do tolerate, no make that respect, your

opinions. You have made me make some changes in my thinking on these issues.



So read me, delete me, digest me, whatever. But lets be civil about it.



Peace

Norm
