Critical comments on RADSAFE

["Les Aldrich" <laldrich@gte.net>]

Thanks, Bud,



Since I've retired, I've spent a little time exchanging messages on the

Sierra Club net.  I've sent messages concerning the ship transporting

nuclear fuel and about the incorrect information put out concerning Yucca

Mountain.  I certainly got some responses from people who didn't agree with

me.  After two exchanges with one person, she went to private communication

with me to talk further.  In NO case did I get personally attacked.



Like you, I'm concerned about the way people on RADSAFE treat each other.

And, yes, there are a few names that are automatically rejected by my Email

because I've learned they prefer attack to discourse.



I've sent a few critical comments to people after they posted something on

RADSAFE, but the comments were addressed to them and not to RADSAFE, and,

even then, I didn't accuse them of being "bad" because their opinion didn't

agree with mine.



I'm also one of those who quite often thinks "I'd like to comment on that,

but I don't need the grief I know I'll get from (insert name) if I do."



Here's to debating issues and not discussing personalities!

> I would like to follow up on an earlier comment by a member. The comment

was in reference to a criticism that was apparently so scathing that the

person offended can no longer hear the offender's comments (I am assuming

that this unnamed CHP filters his or her radsafe e-mail, as I now do).

anyone who dares post a differing opinion on anything.
