fine...so he's going to try and get folks on the staff "involved"....unless he threatens to demote/fire them if they don't comply, it is not a big deal.

So Metro Jacksonville thinks SPAR should disband, or at the very least Louise should step down as executive director?

 I don't recall metrojacksonville taking a stand, what's posted are the opinions of it's members

Springfielder, if we're using the same logic as Stephen on the issue of the Proton Lab, wouldn't you say that they are...

Jason, if you don't see it on the front page as an actual article developed and posted by Metro Jacksonville, than MJ's board has nothing to do with it.  On the other hand, every one has the right to participate and express their views in the discussion board.  As proven in this thread, forum participants (you included) view this issue from varying angles.  Nevertheless, MJ's official position on topics have nothing to do with the what goes on in the forums or personal opinions of individuals.

I think this is indicative of the SPAR WARS.

This organization, clearly has got to go.

Cool.

Trying to marginalize people is a pretty mean thing to do, I agree.

Even during debates online.

But especially when one group just kind of decides that another group 'needs to go' just because they don't particularly like them.

Is it just me or does the metrojacksonville forums, mainly the Springfield section resemble this video as of late?

exactly.

Awesome. Let's apply this same policy to SPAR boardmembers who may post on here from time to time (Lisa S, etc) and to Proton Therapy staffers. I don't recall seeing any of their personal opinions as expressed on here, or in separate correspondence, displayed on sparcouncil.org or ufproton.org as the organization's official position. What's enough good for Stephen should be good enough for everybody else...

I think that's what jason_contentdg was getting at (but they, jason_contentdg that is, can feel free to correct me if I misinterpreted).

And I have no doubt this is the case, I just think that courtesy would have been forwarded to other individuals that have never stated that they are talking for a particular agency, that they happen to be a part of.

That is absolutely what I was getting at.

Zoo, again, welcome to the ballgame.

Lisa Simon's, Alexs, and your comments have always been taken as your own.  No need to create a straw man argument that they havent been.


Stephen, I just thought you acted a little too early by making a phone call to the Proton Institute, letting them know that an employee was getting the entire faculty involved in the "Red Alert"...

Where is the email sent directly to the city officials from the Proton Lab, and not in the body of an email sent by Kharis, cc'd to city officials?

I knew there would be another thread started up after the others fizzled.  I thought it would at least be Tuesday.

The email was clear, and it was sent to the city as an official communication, from the personell director of the proton center, using the proton center email address.

There isnt any other reasonable interpretation of that for any of the city officials reading, recieving or acting on the contents of the email.

Unless you can think of some other way it would have been interpreted by City Officials, in which case, I am all ears.

I provided another interpretation in my posts a few pages back.
