He doesn't "keep me coming back". I respond to him when it suits me to do so.

Coughcough...snickersnicker...

Look again. Between Len and me - who is in control, who acts mature,
and who is acting out and being immature?

That's not the point, Jim.

I think it is one point.

I've said the same thing, Jim. Your counsel was the same.

The point is suggesting one course of actions to everyone else, yet
continuing the same course of action yourself. It doesn't look right.

The difference (as I see it) is how we respond.

But perhaps your point is valid also.

Thank-you. But it was YOUR point, Jim, not mine!

Len calls me name, posts things that aren't true and attempts to insult
me.
In general he behaves like an out-of-control child here. Does that mean I
should do the same?

Hmmm?

"Hmmm?" indeed, Jim.

Just answer the question, Steve. Should I behave as Len does or not?

It's not a matter of how Lennie behaves or how you respond to it,
Jim, it's THAT you respond after having offered counsel to others to
NOT respond at all.

You do keep coming back.

Very true.

It does keep giving him a "raison de guerre"

If attention is all he wants, you have a very valid point.

What else can he want, Jim?

He doesn't have nor does it seem he really wants a license. It
could have been his decades ago if he wanted it. He could be a part
of the same fraternity you and I are and be making his mark amongst
them if he so chose to do so. Instead he's the King with his New
Clothes.

You have children, Steve. If one of them acts like a child, do *you*
do the same? I doubt it very much.

Thankfully when she gets out of sorts, I can redirect her and she acts
accordingly. There ae consequences for acting foolish, and she rarely
transgresses.

But that doesn't answer the question. If a child of yours throws a tantrum, do
you do the same? I really don't think you do.

However, if both are points are processed together, there's another fact that
develops: If a child acts out simply to get attention, *any* attention is
rewarding that behavior.

He's a scumbag bully.

Well, that's a matter of opinion.

It's a matter of fact.

It's a fact that it's an opinion!

It's a fact that he IS a scumbag bully. There's just too much
documentation to the contrary.

A "bully" is someone who gets others to do his/her bidding by force or
intimidation. When has Len been able to do that to me?

Everytime you respond to him, Jim...EVERY time.

Not as I see it. But that doesn't mean I should respond, because it may be
rewarding the behavior regardless of the style of the response.

Yep. Regardless of whether you threw the dog the bone, or
whether he tore it off the postman's leg, he gets it. I say leave him
chained up and let him starve.

At best, Len is a bully-wannabe.

Everytime you respond to him, he wins.

If attention is his goal, you're absolutely right.

Someone in this NG taught me that...Now WHO could it be...?!?!

I'm not quite sure...

Coughcough snickersnicker.... =)

Can you cite a single project or program that incorporates a SINGLE
reference to any of Lennie's "Ham Radio" writings?

Nope. But then again, I haven't read every issue of "ham radio", "CQ"
or "73". Nor have I visited every amateur radio website in existence.
There may exist, somewhere out there, a reference to Len's articles in
"ham radio" magazine.

Besides, what does it matter? Len's most recent article in "ham radio"
was published over 22 years ago IIRC.

And you can bet your bottom dollar if Sir Scumbag had even ONE citeable
use of ANY of his work in Amateur Radio, he'd have rubbed our noses in it by
now.

You know...I never thought of that....and you're absolutely right.

Thanks again. Can I frame this post?

You've told me to set the example, Jim. I only comment on a LennieRant
on
rare occassion now, and usually only when commenting second hand because
someone else quoted him, usually either you or Dave.

But you're still calling names, etc.

Because he's still a putz.

That's a matter of opinion.

It's a matter of fact.

Our opinions differ on that.

A bit of your own medicine, Kind Sir! Stop responding to him!

No comment?

Judge by my actions.

I'll judge by your next response to one of Lennie's posts.

Indeed.

Indeed indeed!
