- Someone sent me the following e-mail
-
- (I just read Mr. Baez' comments about how most of your posts would not be
- accepted in the proposed moderated physics newsgroups if he had his way.)
- I have not been able to find the Baez post alluded to. Is Baez showing
- fascist tendencies?
-
- I am absolutely amazed at how I scare some people or upset them with
- deviant speculations usually done with humor and a little bit tongue
- in cheek.
-
- I was exposed to the teaching styles of some great physicists like
- Feynman, Bethe, Morrison, BOndi, Burbidge,Gold, Teller,Salam, and
- others - I even got a funny letter from Feynman in 1967 addressed to
- "The Great Sarfatti" I think thAT Greg Benford may still have a copy.
- I feel like Gulliver among the Lilliputians with some of the flames
- and insults that some of the more insecure among us feel compelled to
- express both publically and privately. But I also acknowledge the many
- private e-mail messages of support and encouragement. This moderation
- crap is fascist censorship - it is easy for us to censor what we don't
- want to read as individuals - for example, I have killed "time has
- inertia" "abian" etc. I don't care if Baez et-al kills "sarfatti" it's his
- loss not mine.
