Oops, sorry about that Brian. I suspect there will be a few missed

Actually, Mike, you were correct...So was Brian...Brian uses the
"Avenging Angel", however Lennie twists an already dumb idea into the
more dumberest "Angle".

Oh, I missed that. Looks like he he's added a new twist and made it
his own. Probably patentable. Awesome.

Brian, those tongue-in-cheek satiric appelations were justly earned
by all parties. :-)


...by the official arbiter of such things--Leonard H. Anderson, a
non-radio amateur.


Actually, "Avenging Angle" applies to nearly all PCTA extras.


Actually, it doesn't.


All are self-righeously Right even if they aren't in a triangle of being oh-so-superior to NCTAs.


Actually, they aren't. I'm sure it seems that way to an outsider with
an ax to grind.


All who don't worship at the Church of
St. Hiram are, to them, heretics and infidels, unworthy of surviving
on the same planet as the PCTA. They are all Right Angles but
perpendicular to the plane of existance of reality of today.


Actually, there is no "Church of St. Hiram". You may continue to live
on the planet but you aren't involved in amateur radio.


Much earlier in here I'd made mention of one Elfren Saldivar (hope
name is correct), the "Angle of Death" at Glendale Memorial
Hospital in this area. He was a nurse who offed a bunch of
elderly patients "to ease their suffering." Lots of them. Registered
nurse with certificates and everything... Sound familiar? :-)


No, it doesn't sound familiar to anyone here. We don't have a nurse who
has killed any patients.


So...we've got the "forever marine" spending the weekend shouting
epithets using pejoratives not in his ethnic experience, always
being the "avenger" for the "service."


"We've got"? Do you have a Vibroplex in your pocket?


We've got the prissy never-
served busy acting like Nun of the Above, rapping the knuckles of
any who don't agree with him (or her).


Shouldn't that be "message knuckles"?


We've got the "forever ham"
of four decades hamming it up into great "superiority" but who
never learned a thing about diplomacy in the State Department
"foreign service."


I've not been a ham forever. I've been a ham for over four decades and
I'm not quite 56. If I'd been a ham for two days, I'd be your superior
in amateur radio. You aren't a radio amateur. I learned plenty about
diplomacy in the Foreign Service, not "foreign service" though that was
not my area of expertise. Nothing compels me to suffer rude churls.
Finally, it is not the "State Department 'foreign service'" but the
Foreign Service of the United States. Don't you get anything right?


We've got the "university lecturer" who survives
the terrible storms that regularly destroy everything in Hawaii
except the ham rigs and assists other hams in regards to USPS
addresses.


Why is "university lecturer" in quotes, Leonard? Are you being forced
by your nature to live up to the N2EY profile?


We have the coslonaut who wanted hearty
congratulations for a feat he hasn't yet begun but was upset when
he didn't get it.


Aren't you stretching the truth more than a little? Weren't you, in
fact, one who told him that his proposed feat couldn't be done? Didn't
you launch into a lengthy diatribe only to have to eat your words when
evidence was presented which contradicted your claims?

Since we're on the subject, who on earth would think I was looking for
congratulations on something I hadn't done? That's weird. My ill fated
attempt to garner a few ideas in the group was simply that.

It was a failure in that respect. But as in all things, there is good to
be taken away from it. Just a little personal practice in dealing with
the obtuse or deliberately antagonistic. Those involved may choose which
one they want to be.

And for those who think it was some kind of stupidity to expect
anything other than obtuseness or deliberate antagonism, the chance was
offered to act otherwise. That a person would choose that puts them in
league with the bottom dwellers of the group.

Don't like it? Too bad, deal with it.
