Sifting through prior posts, I found one relevant and worthy of
reposting. Where some hams are raising K1MAN's pyschology, what better
commentary can we have than from Glenn's Wife, Bonny, which Glenn
himself published?

The following was posted on January 21, 2003. It is reposted with one
caveat: The Logan Act is raised when, better, The Patriot Act should be
substituted.

"Answering W4ASX editorials, today Baxter fired back. (In the
attachment which follows) we learn that he equates himself to Bill
Gates and Ted Turner, that people in Dayton ask for his autograph,
that AARU is a registered trademark and that www.K1MAN.com had 64,582
hits during the month of December. But more to the point: 'My wife
Bonnie says I am a narcissist.'

Bonnie is on the money. DSM, the internationally accepted manual of
mental disorders, defines narcissism as 'An all-pervasive pattern of
grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration or adulation
and lack of empathy, usually beginning by early adulthood and present
in variety of contexts.'

We all have characteristics that track DSM, but the difference between
an order and disorder is dysfunction. If the characteristics give rise
to a 'presenting problem, then the person is said to have a disorder.

Quite simply, the issue comes down to whether Glenn's narcissism is
all pervasive, invading, penetrating, and molding every aspect, nook,
and cranny of the personality, which is, granted, a subjective
judgment.

The moment I witnessed the forays into foreign policy in Bougainville,
I thought that line had been crossed. And now listening to Sam and
Glenn talk about operations in Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Somalia, I know
they've entered forbidden territory.

Their activity violates the Logan Act, which prevents private citizens
from conducting foreign policy. Glenn's response: 'And we have done
some wild things around the world over the years. But in violation of
the Logan Act? Come on Bob, who is deluded now?' In fact, Glenn
embraces some of the same people we, worried about homeland security,
oppose. Shouldn't a responsible leader be open, in the very least, to
the possibility of adverse consequences?

As Brian, K3VR, who has compiled an amazing dossier on Baxter
operations in the arena of foreign policy, writes: 'Whether he is ill,
naive, stupid, or a bona-fide spy, won't matter one iota to the
agencies who have questions about his actions. They will want
satisfactory answers to significant questions.' Our security demands no
less.

As to his respected Wife's assessment of narcissistic mental state,
Baxter drops one more hint in the attachment. "Anyway, I sent Bob the
$25 and he said he never got it. It did not come back so, being
paranoid, I figured Bob was stiffing me." Unbelievable, this after the
closest working relationship where I had proved my honesty time and
again. Characteristic of Baxter, he does not disclose in the attachment
(identification of check, i.e. date and number), leaving, for the
readers, that cloud of suspicion remaining, a classic Baxter tactic.

DSM identifies the narcissist as 'interpersonally exploitive,
i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends.' It gives us closeup
insight into his apparent view of himself: of the omnipotent,
worldwide, IARN Network with offices girding the globe engaged in
missions befitting Mother Teresa, his views sought out by leaders of
the free and non-free worlds as well as important media, such as the
Wall Street Journal and major TV Networks.

We are left with an impression of grandeur, when, in fact, this is but
one person, Glenn Baxter, and his Radio Shack recorder on timers and a
loop. We would be less than honest if we didn't acknowledge a certain
value in the production and distribution of such a bulletin.

To read the DSM criteria for narcissistic disorder is to gain full
insight into Baxter. Having 5 of the following qualifies him: 1)
Feels grandiose and self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and
talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior
without commensurate achievements), 2) Is obsessed with fantasies of
unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequaled
brilliance ..., 3) Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being
special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or
associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or
institutions), 4) Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention
and affirmation -- or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be
notorious narcissistic supply), 5) Feels entitled. Expects
unreasonable or special and favorable priority treatment. Demands
automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations, 6)
'interpersonally exploitive' ..., 7) Devoid of empathy. Is unable or
unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of
others, 8) Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the
same way about him or her, and 9) Arrogant, haughty behaviors or
attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, addicted, or confronted."

Quoting Baxter: "He (meaning me) has been on Prozac for several years
now and recently a mood regulator as well ... . While apparently
making him happier, I now find Bob to be a different functioning human
being with regard to his great intellectual abilities."

"For sure, Glenn; thanks for the kudos. Depakote, a mood regulator,
prevents those leaps into grandiosity, bad judgment, irritable
episodes, pressured speech. The intellect remains, albeit, for more
productive pursuits. There isn't a person in my inner circle,
including myself, who has failed to notice a vast change for the
better. For some, Depakote (makes) miracle(s).

Consider it Glenn. Just a bit of harmless Depakote can make you the
achiever you've only imagined thus far.

K1MAN is a loser. I wonder when his vanity call will be available again. I
would like to take it over.

I hope they strip his license and punish him to the fullest extent of the
law.

Pride commeth before a fall!

Bob Sherin, W4ASX"

Wonder what ever happened to that bedrock ham in
Miami in the mid-80s, who used to give disabled hams
rides to ham club meetings. Used to be an inspiration to
ride with him to meetings and socialize after. Oh, now I
recall, he inserted himself into the kv4fz controversy, and
since then, it has been all down hill for him.

Lloyd, That's a funny commentary, because right after that I married
the Angel of my life, started a mood regulator called Depakota and life
has been a dream. We have a wonderful group of friends -- with many
hams among them.

Let me now address the KV4FZ federal prosecution. Answering the call
of a fellow ham, I went to help, not knowing a thing about it. I
learned 1) that Herb had committed minor misconduct, and 2) that the
federal government used unlawful tactics to try and bag him for 3
counts of felony. I happen to have discovered the false evidence, was
able to prove it through witnesses here, and 2 counts were overturned.
The 3rd, which remained, was questionable at best.

Had I to do over again, I would, as I would for any ham, given the
time.

Bob Sherin, W4ASX

That *is* a funny commentary Bob. He wuz "framed."
ROTFLMAO!
Believe whatever delusion you want. The rest of us will
stick with the facts of the case.
Craving for attention? Keep inserting yourself in yet
another ham radio controversy.

..Lloyd,

There you go, Lloyd, raising your own predicate, then shooting it down.
I never said he was framed; to the contrary. I've always maintained
that he committed misconduct. But here's where it gets over your head
apparently. Pay close attention and make an effort to comprehend.

The Federal Government's position was that Herb was a kingpin of crime,
defrauding Calls out of thousands. And so they presecuted three counts
of felony. Two of those counts required a jurisdictional minimum of
$1000, and the feds simply falsified his alleged wrongdoing to come up
to that amount.

Here's how I discovered the ruse. The printout was laid on the trial
at the last minute (I wish I understood the federal rules and why his
lawyer couldn't exclude it). Anyway, the printout made their case a
fait accompli.

After the trial, I asked for a copy and studied it all the way back to
Miami. Noting two calls showing where Herb had called Miami, I visited
those people and got Affidavits that neither even knew a Herb
Schoenbohm, let alone talked to him.

Put before the Court, the Affidavits resulted in two of the jury
verdicts being overturned. The remaining was weak because it was
"possession of a counterfeit access device with the intent to defraud."
The access devise was a stretch of first impression to encompass a
pass code in Herb's head. Trouble is, the Feds never specified any
precise pass code. Vague and without specificity, that count should
have gone too, in my view.

I am not condoning his behavior in any way, just attempting to relate
the intracacies as I saw them unfold. And yes, Lloyd, I get a kick out
of moving social causes in a positive direction for society, which was
part of my upbringing. There is a much more important issue occupying
me right now and it is just breaking in the press. (For more info, put
into Google Newgroup Search: "The Florida Bar is Corrupt.") Yes Lloyd,
by their nature, these issues all do mature and reach the press. But
before that, there is untold work that goes into them with little note.

Bob Sherin, W4ASX

Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Bob. It's *your* story.
Spin it anyway you want.

Lloyd, So we had to go through all that for you to understand that I am
privy to a story that you knew nothing about?.

Running two 6146s in push-pull configuration, what could
I realistically expect for a modulation measurment 32 db
down, assuming I am getting pure d.c. from the power
supply?

Tnx,

Bill Lloyd
