I swear I would not post anything on this topic...



I swear I would not post anything on this topic...



but... I am going through my RADSAFE December-January mail today to learn

about fresh HP topics. after going through a amazing volume of bashing, I am

re-assured that some radsafers still have a sense of "balance" in the way to

response to anti-nuke point of views. It seems that they are a silent

majority  (I hope !) but they exist.I copied the best summary below (Thank

you Sandy)



This list is about science and I am extremely surprised and troubled to see

that a "PhD" suggested (even as a joke ?...humor is a strange creature) to

"shoot" someone !



If I was an anti-nuke, I would jump on that post and spread it... 



This escalation of distasteful posts should serve as a lesson: The human

being is the same, everywhere. When you are too close from a tree, take a

couple of steps away to clearly view and appreciate the forest.When I

realize that scientists (read here, highly educated people) are falling in

the trap of personnal attacks via a public maling list, I start to

understand a bit why this world may turn so wrong.



I am thanking all the other radsafers for their posts on X-ray,RTG power,

cancer data, LNT and many more. This is the type of info I am seeking via

this list.  I don't want to know if you can use your E-mail filters.



Sorry, I will not do it again...or I hope ...



I wish I had a better English vocabulary to express my disappointment. I

promise I can do better in French :-)



Please send any response directly to me, I can take the heat.





My opinions.

Subject: Norm Cohen bashing - brings out the infantile nature in our

"professionals"





Enough of the Norm Cohen bashing!  I'd rather read Norm's postings than the 

multitude of the anti-Norm posts of late, calling for "shoot Norm", etc. How

childish!!!

If you don't want to read Norm's posts, filter them, or delete them. Please

stop 

sending Radsafe a chronology of what you are doing. I don't care, and most

don't 

care. However, you're clogging the bandwidth.



Final thought ... If this is how professional health physicists respond to

the anti's, be it 

in a forum, or in a personal debate, no wonder the anti's have so much

fodder to 

attack us. Analogy .. it's my ball and if I can't have it, I'm taking it

with me. CHILDISH!
