The 1st CFV has been published in uk.net.news.config and ballots are being
issued to those interested. If you'd like to cast your vote, please send a
ballot request to and a ballot will be issued
straight to you. The ballot has the full proposal and all details for the
group included, so you don't need to even go to the config group if you
don't want to!

Many of you will be familiar with uk.radio.amateur and the unpleasant
environment that persists there after years and years of abusive behaviour.
Indeed, some of that abuse routinely spills over into rec.radio.*. The
moderated group is intended to provide a refuge from such behaviour where
civilised and decent discussion of amateur radio can take root without fear
of being derailed. I hope to see many of you there!

That unpleasantness has, in the main, come from you and your ilk over the
past couple of years, and when there has been such a spillover, it has been
when you have stalked me there.

Physician, heal thyself.

The abuse and unpleasantness started in the late 1990s, as can be seen in
the archives.
That was long before Steve posted to the group.
When I started posting, around 2001, I was shocked by what I saw. I
recognise the style of
some of the ring leaders who cause the abuse, for example by postings with
abusive titles.

This was recently posted in uk.radio.amateur under the title
of "A guide to his modus operandi"; to whom do you think that
the reference implied by, "his" applied? ...

-----ooooo-----

Firstly to seek attention by goading and innuendo

Secondly, having induced indignance in his victim to further
seek attention by claiming that the indignance being expressed
defensively is the origination of abuse.

Thirdly to seek more attention by becoming aggressive, getting
people arrested, etc.

I assumed it was a bit of self analysis on the part of the person who
posted it.

But in a recent court case, in order to protect your own back, you swore
blind that everything that had transpired in uk.radio.amateur was just
light hearted banter. So, were you then committing perjury, and then
as now changing your tune to suit the direction from which the wind
was blowing?

Nonsense.

My comments were banter, some of yours can hardly be dismissed as banter.

I'm sure the Judge understood that, given the outcome of the case and
the dressing down you received. What were those words. Childish and
puerile?

Those were the words used to describe your posts.

Suggesting that my wife was a sheep in the bed next to me, do you mean?

...and then, when it became apparent to you that your remarks had given
great offence why did you not apologise for them if they were just banter?

Why did you have me arrested for pressing you for an apology; that alone
suggests the earnestness behind your intention to want to insult, an
earnestness that continues to today, going by your current posts

As for stalking, Steve is free to post in any newsgroup (and join any
Yahoo
group, not having been blacklisted). I'm sure he has never been issued
with
any kind of order for harassment, restraining order, or convicted of an
offence related in anyway to malicious communications. Not even a Caution.
Of course, the same applies to myself.

Bian, M3OSN, Old Chum, you've stirred up a right hornets' nest with the
Yanks
with your obsession about sheep and the aftermath of that obsession.

Please be more circumspect in the future.
