You worry overmuch about Quitefine's and Blackguard's identity!
We find it interesting
the anonymity of some
[such as 'Leo'] is respected,
while that of others is not.
Double standard?
No. I'm not the least bit worried about about your identity. Makes
no real difference. However, the reaction of the PCTA, specifically
Steve/K4YZ/K4CAP, to any anonymous post that disagrees with him is a
call to arms, and usually results in a "cowardly scum" accusation.
So WHAT, Brian? Steve is Pro code test, so you decide everyone who is
pro code test is like Steve?
If Steve has a problem with anonymous posters, so what?
I'm certainly not going to condemn every anonymous poster no matter if
they disagree with me or not. I won't condemn Blackguard or Quitefine or
Leo or any of them.
It ain't my fight, and you'll not be able to make it my fight. I may
occasionally have something to say if one of them makes a particularly
offensive post, but none of them have.
You are taking two different things here, notably the fact that some of
us don't condemn anonymous posters, and furthermore, we also don't
condemn anonymous posters that may agree with us, and expecting
something that just isn't human nature. Now when the anonymous poster
disagrees with us, its more likely that a person will say something
negative about the anonymous poster, but that doesn't mean we all have to.
You can post as Billybeeper all day as far as I am concerned. Leo is
civil, and I have no problem with that.
Steve thinks elsewise. Argue the point with him.
Perhaps I am Mike Coslo. Perhaps I am Jim Miccolis. Maybe I am both!
Or neither.
Or perhaps Blackguard is but
one of us.
Perhaps. I do think it's funny, though.
I will impart some wisdom to you. You may not know this.
You hate my so-called anonymity not because I don't have courage of my
convictions but because it is no fun for you to hurl insults at that
which you cannot identify. It is fun for you to hurl insults at named
people.
The plain truth!
Would you beel better if I called you "gutless scum?" Well, maybe you
would but that's not my style. Say something bad about the Morse Code
exam, and you'll get plenty of it.
You need people like Steve badly.
But with Quitefine and Blackguard, you must discuss ideas!
Or you can do as you are doing.
You can complain that we aren't real.
We are real.
Who we are is not important.
What we have to say is.
Which bothers some people.
I complain only that you receive preferential treatment for anonymii.
It is merely my way of making another point with respect to the PCTA
Double Standard.
That is important enough to point out again and again.
Not our argument, Brian. I don't think I've ever made a condemnation of
an anonymous poster, with the possible exception of a fellow that I
outed a year or so ago. And I'm not sure if I dissed him or just outed
him. But even if I did, it may have come across in a post in which I was
arguing with someone. At which point it was part of our argument. And If
I did, it was not a good point.
No PCTA double standard
No NCTA double standard
