Tsk, tsk. You want a meeting with charts and graphs and an
experienced presenter to show you examples of the infamous
Double Standard?!?!?
hmm, maybe. *Your answer* is what needs explaining. If I don't
care
about your mode, nor Steve's mode of expression, and you two are on
opposite sides of the discussion, I need an explanation of why that
means that I have a double standard.
Tsk. Still need an "explanation?"
Not a good reply, Coslo.
Nor a good explanation.
Lennie doesn't HAVE a "Double Standard" that he can use as an
example,
Mike. That's why he dodged answering your post.
Nope, I took the summer off to rest a torn meniscus. Takes
longer to
heal as time marches on.
Who filled in under your name in here "all summer?"
What are you talking about?
You'll have to forgive Lennie...If you posted even once in that time
period, he assumes that you anxiously devoured each and ever word he
wrote as
if there were no other nourishment to be had.
Or you may be smoking some "good stuff" that Bob Casey said I
was... :-)
nahh. nothing stronger than the occasional beer for me.
3.2 stuff? :-)
You smoke beer? How is that done? :-)
So. you deliberately misunderstand me to serve as the content of your
replies? noted! 8^)
Of course. "The Dodge" (not the automobile). A typical Lenniesque
diversion from having to acknowledge a comment which might embarrass
him.
Tsk. You should get a subscription to Psychology Today and
fill yourself in on what "relationships" are.
It is okay. This happens all over Netnews. Don't let it bother you too
much.
This is where Lennie gets most of his "education"...Periodicals that
his
wife subscribed to...Of course he'd have everyone here believe that it
was
HIS education that carried the day.
If you know all this Steve, why bother with Len at all?
Here's the question Steve. I think I know the answer already, but let's
check it out.
As long as Lenover21 continues to post in his present style, I assume
that you are happy to post in retort to him. Yes?
If you'll take careful notice, Mike, with rare exception over the last
few
months, I rare reply directly to anything he says. Most of it (like the
last
couple with you here) have been as a result of someone else's posts echoing
him.
I'm pretty convinced that even though there are times you find him
exasperating, it doesn't upset you to make the posts?
What would upset me even more is letting a bully go unchallenged.
A bully? Len only has as much power as you give him. Proof of the saying
"He
who angers me, controls me. " Len works jard to anger you, so you'll come
off
the handle, call him names, etc.
Note how upset he gets when people *don't* react in kind. Note how he's
trying
to get mild-mannered Mike Coslo worked up so that Mike will reply in kind.
But Mr. Coslo doesn't work that way. I suspect his time on the ice is one
reason. (One trick in hockey is to do something when the ref isn't looking
that
elicits a violent reaction when the ref *is* looking. Result: Penalty box
and
your team is down a player for several minutes. Games are won and lost that
way. So Mike stays cool and collected.
Amateur Radio is something that has enrichened my life and has been a
Godsend on more than one occassion.
Same for me. I think my background in ham radio got me into engineering
school
and into a successful EE career. Introduced me to a lot of good friends.
Showed
me a world many folks don't even know exists.
Why should Len's words bother me?
To allow a creep like Anderscum to trash it unabated would be
unthinkable.
His words have only as much power as you give them. Calling him "Anderscum"
simply lowers you to his level. Can't you see that's what he wants?
It isn't. But it IS the non-answer expected.
PCTA just don't have much validity in their reasons of keeping
the code test in regulations.
They are all into the fantasy of "brotherhood" in the "fraternity."
And of "service to their country" by engaging in a hobby...
ESPECIALLY when he is so blatantly wrong on so many occassions.
Then point out the errors without the name calling.
Absolutely. Show ALL NCTA the "Error of their Ways!"
Hi hi.
Everything about removing the morse code test is an "Error"
as well as Heresy and an Abomination to the Ham Gods.
I also believe that for good or bad, you enjoy it to a certain extent.
Only that it lends some balance to his mistruthfulness and deceit.
When you call him "Lennie" and "anderscum" and go off on his wife or
whatever,
it undermines *your* credibility. Which is just what he wants.
Tsk. Not what "I" want.
PCTA are NEVER "wrong." Never.
Anything said against them is an "error." Hi hi.
No. good guess, but that was an exchange he had with Bessie Braddock, a
House of Commons member from Liverpool.
UK regulations came into the thread?
Tsk. Nice misdirection, but still misdirection.
Lennie did one active duty tour in the Army. Good for him.
But I know people who have made far greater contributions to the United
States who never left thier home state than Lennie ever hoped to "passing
1.2
million messages at ADA in 1953".
Len and over 700 other military personnel there at the time...
Jimmie wasn't there. Jimmie wasn't ever in ANY military.
But Jimmie Knows The Truth about Everything and won't hesitate
to call any NCTA "in Error."
Kellie was never in any military.
Kellies also "knows truth."
That's what get's his goat. The really sad thing is that Lennie COULD
be in that same boat...but just hasn't got the guts to be anything other
than
what he is now...bitter and angry.
What makes you think Len is bitter or angry? I don't see that at all.
Hard to say, Jim. I don't think posts such as his come from a sense of
being in harmony with the world, tho'!
"In harmony with the world?"
Is the ARRL now expounding some kind of New Age thing for all hams?
Tsk, tsk. The "world" is that of the morsemen's fantasizing of yesterday.
If you want some real fantasy with buck attached, check into Paul
Crouch's TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network). Paul Crouch started
out as a licensed radio amateur...parlayed radio into nearly a billion-
dollar asset "religious" organization with laying on of green hands
to all his "ministry."
Crouch's rationality for greed and avarice is "God's Word."
TBN's "ministry" gives the flock God's Word and the flock give their
money to TBN and Crouch.
There's a religious parallel there. Like all hams of today MUST follow
the Old Teachings...as if they were the Word of God (which they
aren't). If you worship hobbies that way, you can call all non-believers
(in the old teachings of hamme) as "out of harmony" (crazy in a
supposedly civilized way).
Continue to support the Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society. It's your
"harmony."
