Mr Congenialty has spoken.

Gotta love those Code Bigots. :-)

?Has anyone run this idiots name through QRZ?

Fred Hambrecht, W4JLE, lives in South Carolina.

Jimmie Noserve showed up with his bimonthly Numbers (his period
on?)...still trying to "prove" that Technician class licensees
aren't really no-coders. :-)

Wow. Why would he think that?

Jimmy has a woodie about some past "disagreements" in here,
the inability to keep me off the forum. :-)

Yet he has absolutely no problem with anything Robesin has ever
posted...

Quite true from thousands of posts in Google archives...one of
which said "I can't control him" (or words to that effect). :-)

But that isn't the real point. Jimmy Miccolis MUST be the "guru"
of ham radio lore. He ABHORS anyone correcting ANYTHING he says.
"Cross" him in any way and one has made an enemy for life. :-)
He comes across as the prototype "Mother Superior" complete with
knuckle-spank ruler keeping everyone in (ARRL) line. Jimmy is a
True Believer in the (virtual) Church of St. Hiram and one of
the more literate of the Code Bigots. But, literacy does not
excuse manufacturing typographical errors into vast reams of
"civil discussion" which is really refined personal insults.

Davie Heil is another of the Code Bigots and is very busy being
a "street fighter" type. More elan but always, always coming
up with manufactured personal insults against non-code-test
advocates. NOT doing as He says is "moral imperfection." Part
of the problem Davie has is that he got topped years ago in his
radio experience. He made much of his "foreign travels" and
being DX, all courtesy of the US taxpayer, tried to make out like
the Department of State had vast radio networks and tried to
imply that he was doing James Bomb like activities in keeping
tabs on commies in an adjacent African country to Guinea-Bisseau.
I came along in here with some experience in Big Time 24/7 HF
radio comms (also paid for by the US taxpayer) and Davie must
have been quite put-out that ANOTHER, a NON-MORSE person, topped
his State stations. [Horrors!] His implications were obvious,
State was much more important than some old USN Chief's ship
station (two of which were in the forum back then). Having
a non-morse-loving person being involved with 40 HF transmitters
and hundreds of thousands of TTY message relays per month was
considered "not as good" as his State stations. :-) Heil is
now on some weird Code Bigot trip trying to use non-love of
morse code as some kind of "moral perversion" or that one MUST
have an amateur license BEFORE getting a professional one in
order to "show interest" in radio. :-)

The olde rrap Code Bigot troika leaves us with Stevie Robeson,
aka "Robesin" aka any number of personalities. Stevie is just
a frustrated person capable of a few things but has a mental
woodie for RANK, TITLE, STATUS big enough to dock the USS
Missouri in. He is a persistent BLUFFER, constantly alluding
and implying things.

He also lacks ANY third-party reference to his War Hero
claims and 18 years of his (supposed) life. shrug

I think Frank was the third party and you know the results.

Yes, but in a round-about way. Frank showed HIS evidence of
HIS USMC service but Robeson never did. Frank came up with
common USMC terms, events, things familiar to other Marines
(one of my old schoolmates was one and he put me through to
some other Marines to verify that). Good enough proof for
me, ex-Army and unfamiliar with intimate USMC life. Frank
was honest. Stevie was devious and PERSONALLY INSULTING.
Stevie's bluff was called and the insults were his only
"reply." Sigh. He was just an IMPOSTER, a wanna-be who
never was.

Katapult Kellie (#4) has given up on posting in here.
Maybe he is a reasonable person who merely loves using
morse but has an archtypical "Philly" attitude?

Ah, so! Well, it's part of the "morsemen can do NO wrong"
philosophy ever-present in this forum. :-)

We're in for the seventh wave of it.

Ah, "seven hostile waves"! :-)

That's the morbidly fascinating thing about the Code Bigots.
They take the code test issue so PERSONALLY. Something akin
to incestuous love? The personal identification with
morsemanship looks to be more zeal than the worst zealot.

Try to speak about the code test issue itself and ANY negative
about it is taken as a "direct personal insult" to any Code
Bigot! Amazing. Those Code Bigots come back with all sorts
of personal insults from moral deficiencies to "laziness" to
"instant gratification" and the very-telling "you in the
younger generation are no damn good and we are 'superior to
you!'" foul-mouthed emotionalism. Amazing. There seems to
be no end in sight to their intense vindictiveness!

Technically, manual morse code mode is dead or dying in the
radio world, all radio services. The efficacy of morse mode
was never proven to match the Morse Myths claims. It is
alive (and unwell) only in amateur radio, kept there in the
USA by Code Zealots (ARRL core and other olde-tymers) who
lobby for its continuation as a license test. Code testing
is extremely emotional to the Code Zealots (most of which
seem to be Code Bigots as well). They vent personal insults
against all who even remotely go for elimination of the code
test. They act as if it is the most important thing in life.

As I remarked, the vindictive zeal of these Code Bigots is
morbidly fascinating. I would like to talk about the ISSUE
of the code test but this arena is NOT the place. This forum
has degraded to self-important insulters trying to outdo
other self-important insulters with heaping gobs of plain
filth in print.

A "Sharps box" is colloquial term for a plastic container
(usually wall mounted) for biological waste in medical
facilities, sometimes referred to as just a "Sharps." Made by
B. D. Sharps company and not affiliated with the dullness of
the pro-coders. They can be seen in most doctors' offices
and hospitals all over the country.

Robesin as medical waste? Sure. Why not? He's a waste in so many
ways.

Fortunately (for the ecology) he is biodegradeable. We've
already seen that in here, him being as degrading as possible.

I disagree. He is toxic waste.

I stand corrected. You are right.

Did you see his "conceed" to Mark in another thread?

No. Too many threads of the garbage-mouthers in this group,
isn't worth skimming through all those other threads.

It was one of the most disgusting, repulsive things I've ever seen
posted on RRAP. And he presents hisself as being Mr Uprightiousness.
Ha!

He has a mouth full of excerement, complaining about others having a
mouth full excrement.

And no negative comments from the Code Crew, so it must be OK with
them.

I had just enough free time today to look over it. Yuck!

The "Al-Code-Ah" (Code Zealots) are always "right." Whatever
they do is "perfect" and only "others" are in error. There is
hardly any disagreement among themselves.

Robeson's problem is that he is too deep into bluffing his
way through things. He isn't as much a zealot about code as
he is FRUSTRATED, perhaps by his life existance. He gets
highly emotional, angry at others disagreeing with him, far
beyond reasonableness.

That reminds me. There was a No-Coder named Val that talked up the
Code and they all loved him. He was the Darling of RRAP. I wonder if
he ever learned the code?

Val Germann his name? I remember that episode, Val saying all
the "right" things to please the Code Zealots and Code Bigots.
The late W0EX was a Code Bigot and praised him to the skies...
while damning all the non-code-test advocates.

We both know what Freddie displayed. No sense in repeating
it. I agree that his demands do not put amateur radio in a
good light, but some of those Bigots are very vocal and
there seems to be some kind of "bigot morsemen's league"
where none are chastised by their brotherhood. They seem
to hold their bigotry in high regard, perhaps even as nobles.

Sort of like "honor among theives."

Deeper than that. "Droit de Signeur" seems to be closer, an
intense for-royals-only identification and all plebians can
go to hell.

Anyway, I ran Val's info on QRZ.com, and he's still a Technician.
Maybe he's a "PLUS," probably not. He played all the morsemen but they
don't mind as long as he was talking the talk, he don't have to walk
the walk. Moral of the story: play lip service to their fetish and
you'll get along just fine.

True enough. Sigh. That "lip service" stuff is rampant in
the Show Business part of L.A., even though much of the
entertainment output is mediocre. I never could see that
kind of ass-kissing and am glad to be associated with aero-
space industry rather than show biz. Electrons, fields, and
waves obey THEIR rules and don't give a damn about human
emotions or ideals. More challenging...and rewarding.
