X-Message-Number: 26478 Date: Sun, 03 Jul 2005 02:26:31 -0400 From: Subject: David Pizer Fooled Thomas Donaldson In Cryonet #26450, David Pizer wrote: "I have reconsidered my timing and am thinking of other ways of proceding without using the courts." In a post above in today's blast, Thomas asks "didn't Dave Pizer put a message on Cryonet to the effect that he'd decided against a lawsuit?" The answer is clear from his own words -- no, he is only thinking about it. In other messages in today's blast, Pizer continues the discussion of the subject and debates various prior postings. In one post, he comes right out and asks: "how can I posture this suit". So, a suit remains a threat to the future of every cryonicist, including Pizer's. I notice, however, that he has not mentioned his "argument" since I dismantled it the other day (#26441). Apparently this was not as important to him as the EMOTIONAL aspect of sobbing over all the poor billions of people who are denied some small chance of "physical immortality" by the awful churches. Now, instead he is focusing only on the question: "If there are valid reason not for me not to try to force religions to correct the mistake in how they present their message of their belief and hope for eternal salvation, I want to hear them. " To that, all I can do is ask him when he will listen to what I and many others already have said -- deal with them as valid opponents, challenge them but don't try to "force" them to do anything. They are too powerful, numerous and wealthy, and, incidentally, in most countries they have very big legal rights. Oh, and may I point out, that to many millions of them it would be an EMOTIONAL issue, just as Pizer's position has now been degraded to from the status of "logical".
