X-Message-Number: 2463 Subject: CRYONICS Restraint From: (Charles Platt) Date: Sun, 14 Nov 93 20:36:19 EST I would like to thank Steve Bridge and the Alcor directors for responding positively to my request that we should try to avoid accusations and counter-accusations in future. Public bickering among competing organizations tends to diminish people's confidence in all the parties involved. Some argument was inevitable, so long as there was a group of malcontents who felt that Alcor was their only real choice as a cryonics organization. Now that the malcontents (myself included) are setting up their own organization, there's no further excuse for name-calling. Keith Henson has pointed out that our informal agreement to be courteous and restrained can be circumvented if people use pseudonyms to post personal attacks. I believe that the use of pseudonyms was just another symptom of the discontent that existed previously, and I have every reason to expect that no further pseudonymous posts will appear. I'd like to apologize if some of my own text here has been excessively personal in tone in the past year or so. It's hard, sometimes, to judge one's own tone and content, especially in email. --Charles Platt Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2463
