There are two sides to this issue. On one side are the technologists, like Jim, Brian, and myself. On the other side are those who are in the business of opposing wireless base stations, those who see themselves as the next Erin Brochovich, and those who simply do not understand the science and have been made fearful, at least partially by those who have a financail or other personal incentive to generate fear. The public must hear all sides. I hope that the Patch doesn't stop posting the contributions of those who support the understanding of the science.

Hi Kevin,
Is there any way to prevent further comment from Brian on the "Credible Research..." cell tower article? He is bashing me personally and distracting our Tucker community from the true issues and concerns that we, as residents, should be able to discuss among ourselves on this board. Outside community interest is fine and can even be helpful, but he is overtaking the convesation here to simply confuse people and complain about his experience.
He is off topic and being rude to me as an author as well as other guests who are trying to offer their opinions and advice. I'm not trying to advocate censorship here, but by way of his abusive and constant attacks that are repetitive, he is censoring others who may be now too intimidated to offer ideas or ask questions.
