Subject: Proposal to rename RRAP ... (was - New Candidate for
'Youngest Extra') From: (Len Over 21) Date: 4/3/2004 2:28 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , "Carl R. Stevenson" writes: I hereby propose that we rename RRAP to "rec.Steve, Len, and a few others rag on each other endlessly.alt" and create a new newsgroup for those of us who really would like to discuss amateur radio regulatory and policy issues ... Carl, I've made a suggestion repeatedly for at least six years in here that it should be shut off from public access with only "authorized access" and a moderator to attempt keeping the peace. That way everyone can be "among their own kind," happy and content, no evil independent thoughts intruding nirvana. YOU wouldn't want a moderator here, Lennie. I'm getting REALLY tired of all of this endless, childish bickering that is OT and doesn't belong here ... most days, it's hard to find the stuff that this newsgroup is supposed to be for because of the volume of petty, personal bickering that you guys load the newsgroup up with ... I agree. But, having practiced computer-modem communications for 17+ years, slightly longer than that via time-share systems on the old Arpanet, then Usenet, then BBSs, and finally the Internet after 1991, I'd say that human nature hasn't changed much. Ahhhhhh....some of that time-in-grade sets you apart, eh, Lennie? Tell you what, Carl, let's see you hang in there with mild, civil manners as a model of comportment after another has threatened to abrogate your First Amendment rights in public, repeatedly called you "putz" (Yiddish for asshole), "scum" in various forms, "ignorant of everything in amateur radio," a "pathological liar," "dishonorable" towards the USA military after conjuring up obvious untruthful conditions...plus...various forms of personal insults including alleged homosexual acts, insulting my wife, my parents, my work experience, my education, educational institutions who provide college-credit courses away from normal hours. Kinda miserable being treated in kind, isn't, Lennie? Is the point getting across to you? Of course you've weathered those contentious conditions of an equal nature with the highest possible conduct befitting an executive directorship. All the PCTA have done equally calm, reasoned, civil replies in here, haven't they? OK, there ... I've said my peace and now you can tell me to [expletive deleted for Jim's benefit] off ... Wouldn't think of it. Heavens, no civilized person uses [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] words in newsgroups...that's for the lower-class, inferior, non-amateur bourgoise, the riff-raff, the underbelly of society peasantry. Self-righteousness and sanctimonious behavior are the true rulers on an enlighted superior society. "Profanity is the adjective of the weak mind"...Anon. Seems the FCC shares the same opinion, as do countless other organizations that are pressing the government to make the airwaves more "family friendly". Do you disagree with this concept, Lennie? Now back to the present-day amateur policy newsgroup where the main topics are immunization, diseases, past military experience, national policy, and - especially - much angst over long-past message exchanges which must be argued over and over and over and over and over again until the original non-winner considers they have "won." Please excuse my absence. I am preparing some Replies to Comments to my government on federal regulations. No doubt I will once again by rewarded by an Amateur Extra licensee demanding I be censored and censured for exercising my First Amendment Rights to my government. Censorship is wonderful, don't you wish everyone had it? Funny how what is your "right" to comment on anything you desire (regardless of who you hurt and why) is "censorship" when redirected at you, Lennie. Steve, K4YZ |
