I'm quite comfortable with the FCC definition. Personally, I prefer the definition of Amateur Radio provided by the ARRL, RAC, RSGB (and most other Amateur Radio organizations) - a hobby activity. From a regulatory perspective, it is a service provided to the public. It's what we do with that service that makes it a hobby - and an excellent one at that! ....although sitting on the porch with a dozen beers may also have some merit - I'll check that one out this summer :P snip 73, Leo |

He will cloud his "answer" in generalized, ambiguous terms without being specific. Yup. So far he's holding true to form. *:-) Actually, K8MN *will* tell people directly. He just won't tell Len what Len demands to know. He "knows where he was" but won't say where or what he was doing there. Sure he will. He just won't tell Len. You're starting to get it! WE are "supposed" to take "His Word" for it without yielding anything... Take my word for what? *What claim have I made? (WE don't have to be supplied with detailed answers?). That's correct. Note the use of the papal/royal "WE" by Len. And the use of K8MN's last name, rather than callsign or first name. Any way one slices that it is olde-tyme "snake oil salesman" BS. If you slice it correctly, it means you don't know much of anything about my military service. *It bugs you. Len appears to presume that anyone who has done something honorable will tell all about it in a public forum like this. He also appears to presume that failure to do so means the person has something to hide. In my experience, both those presumptions are simply incorrect as general rules. Often a person who has done something honorable does not feel the need to blab it all over the place. There is also the fact that if someone is on Len's enemies list, what they have done makes no difference in how Len will treat them. He will use his attack techniques on them regardless of, say, their actual military/combat experience. This has been demonstrated so many times that anyone with sense whom Len considers an "enemy" doesn't bother to tell Len anything about their life experience. My curiousity is piqued. Why does Len feel that you how HIM any bits of history or personal details regarding YOUR military service? Len wants me to provide the information so that he can live up to the terms of the very accurate profile of his actions which N2EY wrote some years back. *It says: "No matter what job, educational level, employer, or government/military service that a radio amateur has, if said radio amateur opposes Mr. Anderson's views, he/she will be the target of Mr. Anderson's insults, ridicule, name-calling, factual errors, ethnic/racial/religious slurs, excessive emoticons and/or general infantile behavior." * * * * * * * * * * * * --N2EY Yep. But that's an old version of the profile, which has been refined and updated over the years. Here's the latest version, straight from the author: "No matter what employment, education, life experience or government/military service someone has, if that person disagrees with any of Len's views, or corrects any of Len's mistakes, s/he will be the target of Len's insults, ridicule, name-calling, factual errors, ethnic/gender/racial slurs, excessive emoticons, orders to shut up and/or general infantile behavior." Sums it all up in one long but accurate sentence. Len likes to refer to the profile as character assassination. *The problem with that is that he can be shown to have done all of these things over and over and over. *For it to be character assassination, it would have to be shown that Len has not engaged in such behavior. Exactly. You certainly "owe" him nothing in this regard, and other than Len is issuing some kind of childish grade-school challenge ("step over this line...I dare ya..") his queries are pointless babble. I think you've summed it up in a nutshell. You are correct. It clearly bothers Len that you are mum on this topic, as well you should be. What will Len next do? Issue another, more serious challenge and "double dog dare you" to satisfy his perverse curiousity? That's one possibility. Another is to accuse the person of having something to hide, being ashamed, or outright lying. Keep him guessing. It gives Len something to further grouse about...as if he needs same. Len lives up to the N2EY profile of his actions today as he did for all of those years during which he had no amateur radio license. *What he claims to decry in others, he does himself. That's what the shrinks call "projection". Len also exhibits classic textbook "transference" behavior, where he attributes to one person the actions of someone completely different. Then there's the inclusion of obviously intentional mistakes in Len's posts, as a way of getting attention from those who correct those mistakes. That one presents a bit of a moral dilemma, because to leave the mistakes uncorrected may cause some to be deceived by them. IMHO, it's all about Len somehow "proving" he is better than anyone who disagrees with him. Name and callsign not given because of you-know-who. Lord Voldemort? Allow me the luxury of but a comment or two, then I shall no longer lend any further credibility to Len by discussing this. I've noted that Len takes, as I said, a childish, perverted pleasure in playing word games while smiling to himself and needling others, yourself especially. He should be left ignored. Agreed. In the end, most people do just that. KH6HZ was probably the first, almost a decade ago. Len is apparently self-absorbed and, as noted, becomes somewhat disgruntled when his diatribes go unanswered. Len desires attention...nay...NEEDS attention as evidenced by his lengthy posts. To ignore Len is to insult Len. He needs you far more than you need him. Compare the number, length and tone of Len's posts (under a variety of screen names) and the truth of your statements becomes apparent. I look at Len with a sidewards, understanding glance. His comments are bolstered by but a few in these groups and if his supporters, such as the Myna Bird are any indication of his standing...well, that pretty much sums it up. I'm not sure who "Myna Bird" is, but I think you are on target. 73 de Jim, N2EY ....going back to just-reading mode.... |

Is it that I haven't the sense to care who is asking or are you stating that I haven't the sense to be ashamed of my military service. It has to be one of those. Either way, your comments don't make sense. He is a noble hero in his own mind... I've never claimed hero status and in fact, I've denied hero status here. Your statement goes *poof* ! ...a petty bickering slob in the minds of others ... That's another interesting take you have, "John". A couple of characters want me to disclose information on my military service. I haven't provided it, yet the quizzing doesn't stop. Where is the bickering coming from? You have no information on whether I'm a slob of any kind, but you're quick to make such a claim. You haven't disclosed much about yourself, "John". Feel free to send Len and hot-ham-and-whatever your military service information if you like. Dave K8MN |
