You have yet to "hang me out to dry" with anything you've attempted to
counter. Like the pitiful democratic presidential candidate, your only
retort has been to distort the truth and then accuse your opponents of
exactly what you do.

And that just burns you doesn't it?

Stop making everything personal. Nothing burns me in this group. I don't
take it serious like you do. the word that escapes you, is
"entertainment".

Like I said to you many moons ago, I enjoy tweaking the mentally
unstable. That is entertainment for me. You've provided many hours of
enjoyment. If you believe that I am angry, you are so far off the
mark, that you might as well be on the moon.

It's hypocritical to point out the wrongs of
others
when you yourself do not possess a clean
sheet.

In the first manner, I never pointed out anyone's wrong doings until
they began making noise about my dx activities and freebanding

A lame excuse. Two wrongs do not make a right. And like in public
school, it doesn't matter who started the fight, both parties are
guilty of fighting and are punished accordingly.

Keeping it closer to home, you, unprovoked and on many occasion, have
called me and others, a criminal and a felon many times for nothing more
than our *posting* topics discussing dx activities.

I believe the term I used was "criminal". "Felon" was the term you
juxtaposed with "criminal" and I suppose I might be partially to blame
for not correcting you, and I left it go.

Take into consideration your position just a few short years ago of
using amps, illegal peaking and tweaking and converting of radios and
claiming cbers are more fun and less uptight (than hammies) because they
are "regular folk", and you are the shining epitome of hypocrisy.

You still don't get it do you? I have tried to say it before but you
just can't grasp the subtle differences between my personal feelings
on a subject, and the facts on what the activity is in the eyes of the
law.

I, personally, have no problem with people who act responsibly and
considerately toward other people, while they break the law and shoot
a little skip or otherwise go beyond the law as stated in Part 95.

I sided with the "Legal" crowd because, as a matter of fact, the
behavior which you defend so vehemently (yet peculiarly cannot
acknowledge the illegality of) is in fact illegal.

I still maintain that the CB'ers I knew (and many of whom have been
immortalized on my website) during the heyday of CB were orders of
magnitude more fun than the sometimes humor challenged hams. That has
never changed. But I've also stated that the quality of CB'ers has
taken a sizeable plunge in the last 15 years. Back in the day, you
could have fun without using obscenities. You didn't need hundreds of
watts to talk 10 miles. You didn't have people picking fights with
other people over the air. The few sociopaths were dealt with, and the
problem was solved.

As much as you want to spin it, no matter
how you try to downplay the issue with
semantics, the FACT is that when you operate
on the freeband, you are breaking federal law,
which makes you eligible to be called a
criminal. You and Doug seem to have much in
common.

This is the place where I tame your unbridled ignorance and arrogance
concerning the United States and the laws regarding the conviction of a
crime. Under the laws of this great country, one is only a criminal when
found guilty in a court of law.

That is little more than an argument in semantics. It's nothing more
than the flawed assertion that "it's not illegal 'till I'm caught".
That is a flawed "I'm living in denial" defense. I'm sure there are
murderers running around free on the street because they haven't been
caught yet. But it doesn't excuse their behavior or change what it is.

I note you have been forced to distance yourself
from your claim that a dxer is a felon and you are now, albeit still
incorrectly, attempting to call those who commit acts you disagree with
(and that you have committed yourself on numerous occasion) a "criminal"
as opposed to a felon.

I have always maintained that anyone who breaks the law is a
"criminal" The dictionary would agree with me. I've provided the
logical progression in the past on what constitutes the law, crime,
and a criminal.

You added the term "felon" as synonymous with criminal.

..
Everyone knows you are an angry, dejected hammie that claims society is
reflected on the cb and that you sit around pining for the "lden days".

No one but you thinks that. I told you before, you are little more
than entertainment. It's fun watching you spin, obfuscate, deny, argue
semantics, and get hung up on literal meanings. You should work for
the democratic party, your tactics are just as disingenuous.

Everyone knows you mislabeled many good, decent ops as "criminals" and
"felons" without so much as an admittance you were wrong or apology, but
alas, everyone kows what you are about.

Why should I apologize for something which is factually correct? If
you engage in freebanding, you ARE breaking the law. There are no if's
and's or but's about it. Sorry if you don't like the feel of the shoes
you chose to wear. But pretending that the emperor has no clothes,
doesn't change the facts.

Which operators are "good" or "bad" is a subjective matter of opinion.
I don't consider the mental midgets who "squash mud ducks" to be
"good" operators. They have little consideration for their fellow
citizens.

If you were a straight up real man, and would say something like "Yea,
I operate illegally, so what?", I'd have more respect for you. But you
won't even acknowledge that what you do is illegal, and (vainly) deny
that you do anything wrong..

For the future, so you don't
embarrasss yourself further, calling one a felon or criminal when they
haven't been convicted of a crime by a court of law is about as valid as
one accusing you of being a convicted pedophile.

There's a big difference between someone who is guilty of an illegal
activity who just hasn't been caught yet, and a groundless accusation.
I have never partaken in any activity which could be remotely
considered pedophilia. You, on the other hand, break federal law on
the daily basis.
