There are some who would say that
the threshold should be more like:

"Anyone who's even close to being as
nasty, insulting, and intolerant as Carl
shouldn't be a ham, let alone an Extra."

I'm not one of them, but there are
some who would say that.

Carl, do you think that calling people
dumb is going to make them want to
learn things?

What kind of "education?" Memorizing the ads in QST every month?

The only "fifth" you are in is a booze bottle...dreaming fantasies
of glory and greatness of self and then writing epic stories of
your accomplishments in amateurism.

Maybe it isn't booze. Maybe it is monoxide poisoning from being
stuck in mental gridlock too long.

Go back to playing with your radios. Try to make a PSK31 contact
or something. Or with other modes. No one really cares. shrug

Please, enlighten us. Provide a definition of the term "empirical."

Your term was "Empirical Theory". Why don't *you* try to define
that in terms of "empirical" and "theory".

In theory at least, we should be able to empirically determine that
Larry is not theorist about empiricism, but rather an empiricist.


empiricist, n. -- a quack

Floyd:

I request meaningful participation in the debate, you respond with more
name calling. If I made some sort of faux pas in the use of the term
"empirical theory," anyone interested in maintaining a useful discussion
of the issues would have simply corrected the error, and let it go. However,
it seems as though I've merely armed you with a straw to grasp, to be
utilized whenever you can't be bothered to continue to contribute
rational, logical arguments.

Since you've obviously abandoned the notion of reasoned
discourse, you automatically lose. You're out of your league here,
Floyd. Just like your colleague, Lennie.

Larry:

Look it up in a dictionary if you don't believe me, though that
probably won't get you in anybody's league, given the above
bunch of hypocracy.

soma come loud bus driver.

your insistence that US amateur radio
is full of technical dummies (like yourself).

all of them technical dummies who can't
do anything but plug-and-play-ham-radio.

A great and glorious gratuitous INSULT to thousands of US ARS licensees
who ARE ALSO professionals in radio.

Feel proud of yourself. You are an archtypical ham Dumb who can't get
dumber.

Tsk, tsk, there you go again, shaking your little "we-we" thing.

Amateur radio is all about working DX on HF with CW.

Not to mention collecting colorful postcards, fancy certificates, and
rising above all others in radio on self-inflated ego balloons filled with
hot air.

Oh, my, you so good and great margarine don't melt in yo' mout.

Thank you, Your Holiness.

Sigh...another sermon on the antenna mount.

Sigh...morsemanship is the epitome of the Archaic Radiotelegraphy
Service.

In your imaginary reality. One that Rod Serling never touched...

Tsk, tsk, there you go again...making US ham radio nothing but
Dummies like YOURSELF.

This isn't a "yardstick" for egos, gas man.

Amateur Dummies can only buy them, plug them in, and play with
them.

Geez...you've NEVER been qualified in anything except being a
newsgroupie, Larrah.

Yes, and all you achieved was a Some Come Loud award. From all.

I was waiting for Floyd's contribution,
but only received more name calling.

Never met Floyd before.

No one has to "bring someone else in to this newsgroup."

It's a public access newsgroup and anyone can jump in anytime.

I can only assume that you
brought Floyd into this discussion to keep up the pressure of churlish,
immature behavior in order to eventually claim victory.

YOU are the churlish immature being claiming victory. :-)

YOU haven't achieved any "victory."

Don't look now, but it's not working.

Yes it is. You are totally ****ed and your immense EGO demands
a comment.

You're losing traction faster than a wet worm climbing a greased pole.

No.

You have the wrong metaphor.

Metaphors be with you, Larrie Skytalker.

For the record, I have not
used PSK-31 myself on
the amateur bands.

So I will not lecture others
on how well it does or
does not work.

Yet Dick is free to lecture others, i.e., "any idiot can get psk going
in under 30 minutes," but by his own words here he couldn't.

He did get it going,
did he not?

That is the point.

Only to you.

Liar Burke still hasn't posted a quote showing that I said that, and he never will,
for it isn't true. Not even close, no part of it. What I said is "can learn to use PSK31
in 30 minutes". That is certainly true.

DICK, there are weeks and weeks of your own postings documenting your
problems with PSK.

Don't call me a liar and don't blame me for your own shortcomings.
After all, amateur radio isn't for everyone.

DICK, there are weeks and weeks of your own postings documenting your

minutes. Sorry, but continued denial only makes you the liar.

Don't blame me for your inabilities and/or lack of hard work. After
all, I'm told that amateur radio isn't for everyone.
