In particular, the thread in this newsgroup dealing with a most
unfortunate
spat between individuals who happened to have ham radio licenses is
inexcusably inappropriate.

It is not a spat between individuals; it is a one sided vindictive campaign,
a vendetta, by Tomlinson directed at me for which I reserve the right
of reply.

Tomlinson frequently arrives out-of-the-blue spitting feathers from
his spleen when I have been involved in unrelated threads, despite
that I am a champion for the very civility and decency that you seek.

It is an unfortunate truism that there are those from your side of the
pond, jimp, stuckle and john s to name but three who are also immature
spleen a-venters.
