Seig Heil!!! :-)
Next up, Jim will once again attempt to invoke Mr. Godwin's
rule.
"attempt"? Hardly!

Attempt, definitely. Because, as has been demonstrated many times
before, the discusion will continue regardless of whether Godwin's
impotent rule has been 'invoked' or not.
The version of Godwin's rule that I use says that the person
who uses stoops to calling their opponent "Hitler", "Nazis"
or references to them, has lost the argument. That the discussion
continues is irrelevant. Len has lost the argument.
I see. Thanks for clearing that up, Jim - for a minute there, I was
afraid that you hadn't accomplished anything useful there!
But it just had to be done, didn't it?
No, it didn't. But I did it anyway.
Of course you did. You had to!
Is there a problem with that? Do you think Len's slurs
are acceptable behavior?
There are several folks here whose 'slurs' and language are much worse
than this example (a reference to the bumbling and comical 'Nazis' on
"Hogan's Heroes") - always has been, always will be. It's not my job
to run around and point that out all day every day.
It's not my job to point that out to each and every participant on
this group Jim - is it yours? Why?
You are correct there Leo. Jim is perfectly capable of not responding
to anything Len posts. We all are.
I'm not sure that I'd agree, Mike. Jim seems to feel compelled to
respond to anything and everything regarding Len. From early morning
to late at night, 7 days a week, he wages his futile war on the
newsgroup.
That's easily disproved, Leo. Just look at how many posts Len
makes that I don't respond to. Then look at how many I make that
he responds to. Also look at the tone and content of the responses.
Just a suggerstion.
Doesn't look like a choice - more like an obcession.
By whom? Not me...
And of course, Len knows quite well that all he has to do is put in a
reference to the Nazi's, and it will get a response. Sets the hook quite
regularly, he does! Irresistible bait apparently.
Right you are, Mike. One of the most important things I learned from
being a parent - if you let the kids know where the buttons are, they
can't push 'em!
??
If you let kids know where the buttons are, they'll push 'em
constantly.
Speaking of "buttons", it's clear that Len has the most "buttons" of
all. All anyone has to do is hit his big button (disagree with
him on the code-test issue) and then Len will respond in a very
predictable, negative, attacking, insulting way to almost anything the
person posts. If someone who has hit Len's Big Button dares to point
out a mistake (even a minor one)
in one of Len's posts (such as the in-service date of a particular
Soviet aircraft, or the legality of US hams operating with
expired-but-in-the-grace-period licenses...well, the results
are all there in Google. Not pretty, either.
For example, some time back I posted info about a new War Museum in
Canada. (I don't recall the exact correct name of the museum right
now). I pointed out that some of the windows spell out a message in
Morse Code.
Len, of course, went ballistic in one of his typical tirades. You'd
think I'd said something truly awful by pointing out the windows. I
don't know why he reacts that way - it's just what he does.
But don't ask Len what JT65 is...
