Re: [Phys-L] Does anyone doubt that someone is Politically baiting...

["Richard Tarara" <rbtarara@sprynet.com>]

Whoever started this thread with the defamatory title and certainly now 
Marty are, I believe, in violation of the forum 'rules'.  This name calling 
crap (and I don't care if it is the so called 'right' or the so called 
'left'--I'm offended by both) is why I quit the list about a year ago and if 
the rest of the membership doesn't shut this stuff down, I for one will be 
be gone again.  We have quite enough in the way of derogatory comments 
passing back and forth just on Physics topics, we don't need blatant 
political posturing as well.  Everybody, please take your hatreds, 
bigotries, political and religious rants to more 'appropriate' forums. 
Let's concentrate here on berating each other for how we deal with 'g', 
centrifugal force, and special relativity!

That's the problem... Scientists are reluctant to get involved even though 
their bread and butter is severely threatened by the forces that would cut 
off their funding or worse of any projects they object to through religious 
or narrowminded misthinking.  It's time that somebody started calling it 
like it is and stopped being so timid.

YES... there are whole groups of people who ARE ignorant and antiscience and 
they need to be confronted, not shied away from!
