Where did you get that I support a minimum age? I don't.
It is one of Len's "over the top" satirical comments (to the FCC).
I
take it that you aren't in favor of pedophiles in amateur radio
either
then.
What kind of question is that? I don't think issuing licences to
children
makes much difference from that angle. When someone is on the air
they are
in a public place.
It's mathematics, Alun.... A = B = C.
You made statements approving of Lennie's "satirical" comments.
Lennie approves of a minimum age for Amateurs and has made (very
poorly worded) statements that appear to suggest he approves of
pedophiles in Amateur Radio. (I doubt he supports pedophilia, however
he WOULD support ANYthing that could blacken Amateur Radio's public
perception...)
Therefore you approve of a minimum age and pedophiles in Amateur
Radio.
I have every reason to doubt that you do support a minimum age for
Amateurs and I'd be shocked if you support pedophilia, however this is
a very clear example of why it is NOT possible to "have your cake and
eat it too" with regards to "free speech".
Lennie made some really idiotic comments vis-a-vis the presence of
pedophiles in Amateur Radio. I would HOPE that he didn't mean for
things to come out the way he said, although it's NOT in his nature to
back away from even the stupidest things he's done.
Lennie has also out-and-out lied over and over again vis-a-vis
Amatuer Radio and his personal "achivements".
And again, YOU stated that his comments were "over the top", but
were right on spot.
So....Would YOU care to retract or modify any part of your
declaration of "support" for Leonard, or was it indeed your intent to
"support" his mistruths, outright deceit, poor grammar and verbal
mayhem upon Amateur Radio...???
