I don't blame you for leaving out the rest. I'd have been embarrassed
to have have written it too.

Tsk, tsk, in the usual display of humorless unpleasantness...

I know that you intended your post to be sarcastic and perhaps even
humorous. It wasn't. It was sophomoric.

Heil takes things out of context in order to attempt some
kind of humiliation of those he doesn't like. :-)

It doesn't matter whether you read it in context or out, Len. Consider
my post as humor. You've exhibited your usual display of humorless
unpleasantness.

Here is the original exchange between Brian Burke and
myself...

Naw, let's not do that again. It was awful the first time.

======================== end message quote ====================

Taken IN CONTEXT the exchange (try reading it as the
spoken word) is amusing.

Others will let you know if it is amusing or not.

Of course it is one-sided.

I fully agree.

Of course it is sarcasm, but it is WRY sarcasm based
on years of one-sided smug arrogance of morsemen in
this newsgroup against all no-code-test advocates.

It is sarcastic and it is juvenile. It isn't worthy of an adult in his
eighth decade.

This newsgroup's amateurs allow very little objectivity
and the pro-coders insist on strict adherence to THEIR
opinions...

Awwwwwww! Did someone poke fun at the old piranha?

...and justify their attempts at humiliation
and insult of no-code-test advocates as being "their
right" or "for the good of ham radio" or other quaint,
uncivil, but invalid rationalizations. :-)

I'm not looking for rationalizations. Your post wasn't some civil
dissertation on your reasoned thoughts on removal of morse testing.
No one here is bound to accept your thoughts, find amusement in them,
refrain from jeering or from throwing tomatoes. :-)

Heil did the same OUT OF CONTEXT "quoting" of Brian
Burke, adding in his pet phrase (which Heil says is
"not" a personal insult) of "red-hatted monkey."

Did I say it wasn't a personal insult? It is certainly an accurate
description. I can't take credit for it.

Heil has his own pet phrase for me, of course "not"
a personal insult in His rationalizations:

I have several for you. Go into your "Herr Robust" or "Waffen SS"
routine again and you'll likely see a few of 'em.

The Old Organ Grinder, the man who is only here for CIVIL debate is
heard from.

Tsk, tsk. I *am* a civilian. :-)

....but you aren't civil.

I have ground pepper but never an organ.

You grind your organ frequently right here in r.r.a.p.

[I have
yet to be in Fargo, ND, and would not be there
playing with a chipper in the snow... :-) ]

I wrote nothing of Fargo nor chippers. :-) :-)

When arguing with UNCIVIL pro-coders (such as Heil
and his out-of-context quoting uncivility) one cannot
be a polite "goody two-shoes" respondent.

You were here when I showed up and were already not being a polite
"goody two-shoes" respondent.

Especially
when the pro-coders are very concerned about
"sphincters." :-)

You'll likely be asked again in light of your deliberate falsehood
concerning what it was like to undergo an artillery barrage.
