X-Message-Number: 1642 Date: 19 Jan 93 13:43:12 EST From: Charles Platt <> Subject: CRYONICS etc. To: Cryonet In reply to Thomas Donaldson: I appreciate your very gracious posting and I concur. Let's put this thread to bed! In reply to Michael Riskin: I would hope that anyone in the future, looking at Cryonet postings, might conclude that we cared so very much about staying alive, it caused a lot of strong feelings. I would also note that "Joe Sixpack" (to use your phrase) would have resorted to physical violence long ago. Here, at least, we are civilized enough to disagree with words alone. I have a question, however. Are you commenting on the style of the debate, or the content? It may be fair comment to suggest that the style of one person is not much different from the style of another. But I am not sure it is fair to say that the content of the postings is interchangable. It is my impression, for instance, that the use of facts to support argument, or the use of innuendo to suggest wrongdoing, is not consistent from one person to the next. These differences seem more important to me than the similarity of style (though I agree it would be nice to see some stylistic restraint). --Charles Platt Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1642
