I have repeatedly encouraged you to take the Amateur Technician since it
doesn't require a Morse Code examination.

Why, Steve?

Why do you encourage Mr. Anderson to get an amateur radio license,
given the way he behaves here towards anyone who disagrees with him?
Do you really *want* him to join the ARS?

Now wait just a minute. You idly stood by for years while Dick,
Larry, Steve, Steve, Bruce, Kelly, et all, grossly misbehaved, then
you beg them to join your CW nets.

Where were your words of caution then? Why do you intentionally
associate with such people?

They said they were good as gold because they made it through the
filter, and they wouldn't behave so horribly while on the air.

Mr. Anderson told us way back in January of 2000 (almost 4-1/2 years
ago) that he was "going for Extra right out of the box". Didn't
happen, probably won't happen any time soon, if ever.

You told us just last week that you have no opinion of "Sorry Hans,
MARS IS Amateur Radio."

Jim does have an opinion. One day he just might voice it. But not
while whacked out Steve is doing his battle for him.

Just as Jim had an opinion of Bruce. An opinion that he sat on for
years and years, until Bruce's outrages became even too much for Jim
to bear.

The Tech hasn't had a code test in over 13 years and medical waivers
for all code tests except 5 wpm were available in 1990. None of this
is news or any sort of secret. If Mr. Anderson were interested in
being a radio amateur, he would have gotten a license long ago. So
there's only one logical conclusion left.

What might that be, Jim?

Do you think that calling him "Lennie" or various versions of "scummy"
or "liar" will change his behavior, or opinions, or get him to admit
any of his many mistakes? Or do you think that maybe, just maybe,
getting *you* to behave in a manner similar to *his* might be one of
his real goals?

So you think Steve is so easily and blatantly manipulated?

I do.

I snipped out all of the name calling and insults in the post I
replied to - and there wasn't much left. Nowadays I don't even read
most rrap posts past the first insult. Many I don't read past the
author line.

I try to look for some good in everything rather than dismissing it
outright.

However you still seem stymied byt the process. Actually, I think it's
because you might have to actually demonstrate your REAL knowledge base...Your
ego wouldn't allow you to expose yourself to the ridicule of failing the test
in a room full of grade school kids who just passed it.

Did it ever occur to you, Steve, that Mr. Anderson could pass the test
if he wanted to - but that he doesn't want to? That his hobby is
something very different?

I think Mr. Anderson is not interested in a VHF license. Just my
opinion. You'll have to ask him.

Look back over the past several years. Do you really think Mr.
Anderson will *ever* engage in civil debate here on *any* subject?

I don't seem to have a problem. And I've always been civil with the
other Jim, KH2D.

Gee!

Or
that Mr. Burke will answer any questions that he doesn't want to
answer (while at the same time asking all sorts of questions of
others)?

You're free to disclose as much or as little as you like. For
instance, you disclosed no opinion when asked if, "Sorry Hans, MARS
IS Amateur Radio" were a valid statement. But worse, you lied
and said that you had no opinion.

Of course you have an opinion.

Meanwhile, Amateur Radio continues. OTA, not here. Will we hear you on
7037 next Monday night?

Best of Luck.
