Has anyone noticed that those that accuse are usually guilty of the same
sort of offense?

He has a point, Mark. There are people in this group who I don't
regularly post to. There is a fringe element that seems to be really
concerned with each others sexual habits, there is a group of
Ham-baiters, and there are those who simply hate Amateurs.

What point? that people should be censored?

Coslo wants a cozy little chatroom with all in general agreement
with him. As he's written before, he wants to be entertained.

When he can't come up with valid replies on the SUBJECT, he
resorts to personal insults such as "ham hating." Tsk, tsk.

Coslo falls into too much self-identification of himself as
"ham radio." Be opposed to Coslo's opinion and (in his view)
one is "hating ham radio." The same with Jeswald, Heil, and
Miccolis.

All my exchanges with him have become drearily predictable and not
very
interesting, at least to me. I don't need the non-sequitars, the name
calling, or the constant attempts to steer most every thread to CW
testing.

realy I don't see that. Len does certainly get rather verbose,
sometimes to point of undermining his his point but that is also the
hallamrk Jim, N2EY

Consider what I write in here as a "first draft." It isn't
polished to someone's perfection but then I'm NOT getting paid
anything to post. It isn't worth my time to sit and rewrite
to publishing standards, not to my wallet, not to my ego.
It is, in effect, flow-of-consciousness CONVERSATION with
unseen beings somehwere in netland. :-)

Mr. Anderson simply hates Hams. That is okay, no one has to like
Hams,
me, or chunk light tuna.

No Len doesn't hate hams, he does hate that fairly visible segment of
the ham world that is very inflexible and frankly are dishonest to
themselves, and then to the rest of us

I don't hate hams and I rather like tuna/albacore, but only if
packed in water, not oil. :-)

Coslo got ****ed off again and used an old, old computer-modem
ploy of winning message points by repeating untruths of his
opponents...instead of concentrating on the SUBJECT under
discussion. That ploy is sometimes effective to "win friends"
(to his viewpoint) but is just egregious. It is well-known to
those of us having done computer-modem communications a long time.

So I seldom bother to reply. No point to it.

Coslo expects cheers, applause, and respect because he exists?

Things don't work out that way on contentious, highly-polarized
subject discussions. One has to be TOUGH to take some of the
personal insults tossed out by others. [I've survived 21 years
of that] It's very, very easy to toss those egregious personal
insults right back at them. I could send a series of postings
that have nothing else but "COSLO *HATES* NO-CODERS" in them.
That's quick, easy. Some of the Coders in here would cheer and
applaud, thanking me for my "insight." :-)

But, that wastes time and memory space on servers, and is petty,
so I won't do it. :-)

It's okay for Coslo to say I "hate ham radio." Or Jeswald. Or
Heil. Or Miccolis. Or Robeson. They've already done that.
I know, and others know, it isn't true. But, They are ham
radio so any disagreement with them is taken as a "mass insult"
on hundreds of thousands of hams!

To paraphrase Percy Bysshe Shelley: "Look upon his words, ye
mighty, and despair!"*

"Ozy-ham-dias," king of kings. :-)
