Well, he is traditionally the first one to jump on someone for 'being
wrong' about something - anything, actually, no matter how trivial -

Give us some examples, Leo.


No examples yet.

Which is unlikely - he's made too many enemies with his "You're just
wrong. I'm always right" attitude in the group for that to be an
option.


The only enemies I know of here are people who have a problem with my
differences of opinion, or with being corrected when they make a mistake.


Would you rather I let the mistakes I notice go uncorrected?


I missed that in my previous answer to Leo. What enemies? Lenover21
(and presumably AveryFineman) aren't too fond of Jim it would seem, And
Brian would appear to be in that group. I'm assuming that Leo puts
himself on that list too. So out of the group, we have three people that
are Jim's "enemies" - four if you count one of Lenover21's other
personalities.


Also consider "nocwtest", "averyfine", and "lenof21", all of which have been
used by Len here. "Lenof21" is still his, and I think the other two are as
well.

So that makes seven - five of whom are the same person...;-)

The rest of us like Jim just fine, thankyouverymuch!


I appreciate that, Mike.

It is interesting to see the reaction when the tables are turned.


Yes, it is.


See below.

You
know that if he had have popped in and said "you're right, guys, I
screwed up", this thread would have died out.


My original post began "if my math is correct". One of the calculations was
quite close (188 seconds) but the other was way off. So I corrected it.


Apparently, and quite
unfortunately, that isn't possible for him to do - so he avoids the
issue, and hopes it goes away.


Did you miss my correction post?


He replied to it!!!


I missed that one.

Like the old saying goes, "if you can't take it, don't dish it out" !


Dish what out?


He's reading this thread, though - he knows it's here.


I read most threads here. But not all posts. Just don't have the time.


I try to be assertive but not aggressive. That apparently infuriates some
people. Particularly when they cannot refute or disprove my facts. Or when
I refuse to back down from my opinions.


When the time
is right, he'll jump in and try to take control of it - just watch!


How can anyone "take control" of a thread? I'm not the most frequent or
verbose poster here by a long shot.


I simply post facts and opinions. And the occasional mistake. Which I have
corrected.


So what's the problem?


He don't like ya. When you don't like a person, you hold them to an
impossibly high standard.


Well, maybe *he* does, but I don't.

Funny, in a group where I have been accused of supporting all things I
do not comment on, and not condemning "that which should be condemned so
I'll drag this out.


Me too. As if what others post is somehow my responsibility.

Lenover21 made a mistake a week or so ago in which he said the first
voice transmissions occurred in 1906. That was incorrect. No big deal,
it was corrected I didn't notice Leo making "you can hear a pin drop"
posts about that mistake.


About that "tables are turned" thing - it's interesting to note Len's reaction
to being corrected on that historic fact.

Or when he wrote that he had *never* posted here as "averyfine" - and I Googled
up some posts by him using that screen name...

Meanwhile, he's out there today regaling us with his wisdom on the
subject of license fees, and other matters.


Are any of the facts I have written about license fees incorrect?


Are my opinions on license fees somehow unacceptable because of a
calculation mistake?


Would you approve of me more if I behaved like Len, "William", or Steve,
rather than myself?


I suspect that he would approve of you if you had the same opinions as
Brian or Lenover21. At that point you could act however you wanted to.


I suspect you are right.

Would you rather I just shut up?


twould appear! ;^)


The only person I have *ever* seen tell someone else to shut up here on rrap
was Len, in his classic "feldwebel" post to K8MN.

And reading.......


And posting.


and bears....Oh My! hehe


No, the guy who photographed the Bear bombers from the deck of a US aircraft
carrier is W3RV.
