Jim's had his "backbone" for quite a while.

You say that just so long as he stays out of your way and
"never is heard a discouraging word." Yet he's been giving you subtle
hints to back off of Len, but you just don't get it (because you're
nuts and cannot NOT respond to Len). We'll see if he can stand
up to someone other than Bruce, and you'll change your tune when he
tells you to quit making an jerk of yourself. Best of Luck.


Well, Brain...

There ya go spouting off without facts again.

Suggest you balance the number of LennieRants against the total number

of

posts I've made, either to him or about him.

The numbers will, of course, prove you wrong.

There ya go...Running off at the mouth again, Brain.

Are you EVER going to learn...?!?!

Hey Steve.

Here is a good question.

Jim has suggested that you not engage with Lenover21 or Brian. I have
in the past also. There have been other things we have disagreed with.

And yet, between whatever Jim and you or myself have disagreed with, we


have always managed to keep it civil, am I not correct?

Hmmmmm, what would be the difference?


Well, Mike...It's probably because we disagree with each other without
calling each other Nazi's, jackbooted thugs, elitists, invent diminuitives for
each other, and generally treat each other with a modicum of respct when we
take each other on some point.

But that's just a guess on my part!

And a good guess it is. Kind of flies in the face of those that say one
cannot engage in disagreement with you.

Of course, Steve went on his rampages while I was still being polite to him.

My mistake.

except make horny remarks to Kim.

That took alot to do, with that guernsey

Let's see - we disagree on many political points, like the practicality of
manned space exploration. In the area of amateur radio policy, Steve thinks
license fees,
and a "student" license are good ideas, while I think they're not. Steve thinks
it's
practical to have 'secret' tests again, while I say it's a waste of time to
pester FCC with such an idea, and that "Son of Bash" would make the point moot
anyway.

And probably lots more stuff. Like how I think responding to certain folks here
is a waste of time, and simply encourages them.

Besides all that, I'm a Yankee with a call from my time in New York State and
he's a 4 lander.

But that's just a guess on my part!

Disagreement without personal attacks. Watta concept, huh?

How do you know?

People
just don't want to learn the code.

Some people don't.

Some people don't want to learn
the theory, either.

Most who are really interested
will learn at least what is needed
to pass the tests.

Either
that or people just don't want to become hams.

Most people are not interested in
radio as a hobby. That has
always been true.

We have an insider who might be able to shed
some light on those issues.

To who do you refer?

We recall that in the past, the
Morse Code tests were blamed
by some for low growth in the
number of US radio amateurs.

Both the Morse Code and
theory tests have been
repeatedly reduced, but there
has not been sustained increases
in growth.

We think N8UZE is correct: People
cannot be interested in something they
do not know about.

And for what it's worth, have you noticed that we used to have an ANON

Why do you write of
us in the past tense?

Steve has an
unnatural attraction for every ANON poster on here EXCEPT for
Quitefine.

It seems that 'Steve' is
not the only one :-) :-)

You and Lenover21 have both
tried to be anonymous here.
You have not had a problem
with others' anonymity, as
long as they agreed with you.

You have no problem with the
anonymity of "Leo" or "Vipul".

But in our case, you are far
more interested in who we
are than in what we have to say.

That is very interesting.

Can you explain this?

No.

Perhaps 'Steve' respects our
anonymity. Perhaps he has
changed.

Can you explain why you
respect only the anonymity of
those who agree with you?

Can you explain why you
seek to aggravate someone
you have described as "nuts"?

You are confusing good manners with weakness.

No. YOU are confusing the PCTA extra double standard with
socially-acceptible, logical behavior.

Perhaps you could explain the
meaning of those terms.

You are also confusing good manners with backbone.

No again. Given the enormous outpouring of vituperation from that
modern ham role model (aka "nursie"), there can be no other
recourse than telling the truth.

Then when will you start? ;-) ;-)

What about your own
"enormous outpouring of vituperation" ??

HOW that recourse is done is
apparently a sore point with you.

We don't see why you behave the
way you do here, Len.

Nope. You two and Steve are all getting exactly what ya'all want out of

this newsgroup. Enjoy!

YOU condone nursie and whatever he says...because he is another
PCTA extra (and that "club" must stick together...why, I don't know.

Len, do you think your behavior
here is in any way better than
the behavior of those you constantly
criticize and insult?

Jimmie Who writes so bloody much in here that he can't come to
a good point.

To whom do you refer, Len?
No one who posts here uses
that name.

Is there something which prevents you
from calling people by their names,
screen names, or amateur radio
callsigns?

As for total volume of written output
in this newsgroup, the "top three"
are consistently you, K4YZ, and
Brian/N0IMD/"billybeeper".

YOU are confusing enormous content with "good
manners." shrug

Do you think you exemplify good
newsgroup manners, Len?

Now WHY are you wading in here in yet-another-nursie-does-the
Yell-Yell versus Everyone Else?

Back to your penalty box...

Trrying to tell me to shut up?

It appears that is the case.

That may be a good thing....
