RE: UF6



Radsafers,

I appreciate the attempt that some folks have made to bring civility to the group, but a lot of folks apparently still don't get it. 



It ain't gonna happen.



If anyone knows of a group that is more academic and less attack oriented, please let me know. As I have said before, this type of forum has potential to help us all.



I suspect that some folks have chosen to unsubscribe to radsafe in a public manner on purpose in an attempt to make one last point. I have seen numerous instances where people were soundly criticized for doing so (even today). I will unsubscribe in the proper manner as to avoid further public scrutiny.



My parting thoughts only,

Neither did I feel it was rude--I use the same phrase and I anticipate an

honest response. It's a reality check. There are rude and pompous responders

on this list--or at least there used to be--when I tired of reading their

comments I filtered them out and don't see them anymore. I've observed that

Ruth 1) doesn't need me or anyone else to defend her, 2) goes out of her way

to respond honestly and in great detail to comments most of us wouldn't even

acknowledge, 3) has more knowledge than most of us ever will, and offending

her will cost us, not her, and 4) has never been rude to anyone that I can

remember. I have no tolerance for rudeness from anybody, but there's also a

difference between rudeness and a strong response or even an implied or

explicit reproof where deserved.

1. Why would anyone care?

Ruth Weiner, Ph. D.



Should start a new thread titled "Former Radsafe Subscribers" to keep track

of all the folks that are driven away by Ruth Weiner's inappropriate and

pompous replies to serious inquiries.
