Susan, I was quite happy to give you a peace offering off list after you
had contacted me off list. This changes the matter once again! In my post to
the list I specifically referenced your post and comment, not others. I
specifically stated that it is inane to suggest that wearing short while
firing raku is somehow OK. To that I will add foolish and just plain
dumb.....again....for the record. I don't care how many professional raku
folk you know who do it. This is my opinion.
You sound like a politician when you say "......I didn't say it was
safe." So what. I did make a declarative statement and said it is quite
dangerous and I stand by what I said. Specificity of language is important.

Well thank you. ;)
I know professional potters who do it in shorts. I didn't say it was "safe;"
I said I know some people who do it.
Anyone who saw all the discussions of fire retardant clothing, etc., are the
inane ones if they conclude that they should pull hot objects out of a hot
kiln with fire gloves on -- and shorts.
Good heavens -- get a grip. This is a BULLETIN board, and things don't
always
come across perfectly.
If you don't want to be told to get a grip, don't call people "inane" for
reporting what others have done.
