I believe so. I have always tried to keep the tone civil, and yet that

something makes no sense to me, but perhaps that is my own stupidity,
no? Yet he is angry with me.


"Anger?" None.

hmmm. It is possible that you have been so angry for so long that you
aren't aware of it any more.


Coslo doesn't understand that "discussion" requires
understanding that opposite opinions are neither "stupidity,"
"ignorance," or behavior equivalent to the Antichrist.

Thank you for letting me know that. Now that I understand, we need to
talk (cuz I think that is sort of like how you act once in a while).
REspectfully speaking, of course.

If Coslo wants love and admiration for his viewpoints, he ought ot seek
out a private forum where all Think Alike, sharing the same opinions,
whether or not those opinions were brainwashed into them or arrived
at by group agreement.

Nahh, I don't want that. That doesn't seem like much fun at all.


Anderscum is a very bitter, angry and disappointed old man, and he's
intent on taking his inadequacies out on Amateur Radio, for what ever
reason he thinks we "owe" him that.

He's just pitiful.

heh heh heh heh

The above is what Coslo condones as "rational discourse?" :-)

Nahh, I don't condone it. I don't say it either. Are you sure you don't
want to be a moderator? Yahoo groups can be set up that way.


Of course it is. If said by a PCTA extra, it is most acceptible.

If said by an NCTA, it would be subject to many an angry posting
from all the PCTA in here (there's only a few, but they are
aggressively hostile whether civil in manner or not).

I think you really would like to be a moderator. You would be able to
control how people reply to you. That is okay. Some people like that
structured kind of group.

It *is* sad. I think that Lenover21 has much to offer, and yet ends up
alienating those that may be able to benefit by what he has to offer.


Oh, my. How condescending can Coslo become?

But it is still sad.

Poor baby.

Now that is a strange comment!


Tsk. Consider the many years of morse propaganda under the
"officialdom" of the "leadership" membership organization about
amateur radio...and their faithful followers (a minority) with ten
kinds of condescension of all who didn't love, honor, and obey
morse code.

Here we go again! I'd really prefer to hear a radio story instead of a
Morse code one. THe Morse code thing is getting kind of dreary and old,
don't you think?

Did all those faithful followers, united in morsemanship, "have
so much to offer?"

I really do love hearing stories and experience from old timers.

Of course they did. They said so. Even as we view the screen
there are thousands of mighty macho morsemen waiting to come
to the aid of their country, saving all through their wonderful skill
at morse code!

hmmm,

In their dreams, of course. :-)

Coslo makes a grandeloquent - but condescending - blabber on
"having much to offer!" :-)

Gee, if I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry.

Has Coslo anything to "offer?" :-)

Quite a bit, it would seem.

What will Coslo return in compensation for being "offered" anything?

I can bring cookies. Chocolate chip or Oatmeal raisin?

His good will and appreciation? Acceptance into the group by a
self-perceived chieftan descended from gods of amateur radio?

I don't think that the American Indians believed their chieftains were
descended from the gods of any sort. Of course I could be wrong, and if
anyone wants to correct me, please do.

Or is this one of those little jokes you do, like J-38 Keys on a flag
from the Revolutionary war? That was a good one! 8^)

Tsk. Coslo needs an olfactory exam. He (and others) have long
been "peeing in the pool" and now they complain about the odor!

Did you ever notice the awful smell sometimes after eating asparagus?
So what do you think, is the urine smell imparted by asparagus due to
methyl mercaptan alone, or S-methyl-thioacrylate and
S-methyl-3-(methylthio)thiopropionate, or possibly a combination of
methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulphide, and small amounts of
sulphur-oxidised compounds?

And how would ya like to be the people that actually research that kind
of stuff. Eeww 8^)
