Odd; Blackguard was away for a week.

What is odd is that you would say that.

To verify Blackguard and my absence from the list, I went back through
the postings to check this out.

My last posting before leaving was on the 27th of August, subject Ham
Haiku. Upon coming back, my next posting was the start of the "Who Peed
in the Pool?

I was in town on the 28th and 29th of August and had access to a
computer, but was busy with housework, and didn't post. I left town on
the morning of the 30th. The next time I had access to my computer -
home *or* work was on the 5th I got back in town late on the 4th.

Now let's look at Blackguard's posting during that time. Blackguard
made a number of posts over the weekend. On the 28th and 29th he or she
made a number of posts.

It's possible that I could have made those if I was Blackguard. That is
just the same as anyone else here could have made those posts.

But on the 30th of August, Blackguard made 3 posts, and on the 1st of
September, Blackguard made 2 posts.

So at the very least, the Blackguard character made 5 posts in this
newsgroup while I was away.

So your contention that this character Blackguard was "away for a week"
is inaccurate, at least as far as a correspondence with my out of town
work. I have noticed that Blackguard did not make any posts between
September 2nd and September 8th. I was out of town for a couple of those
days.

Doesn't add up, William.

I could provide references that can tell you that I was out of town
that week. I don't know that you you wold believe me though.

Nor do I. But I do know who I can believe here and elsewhere.

For me to provide people that would lie for me as to my wherabouts would
entail a lot of work on my part that I have no intention of doing.

Wise decision, William. Perhaps there is hope for you.

Or am I dissapointed?

You worry overmuch about Quitefine's and Blackguard's identity!

Perhaps I am Mike Coslo. Perhaps I am Jim Miccolis. Maybe I am both!

I will impart some wisdom to you. You may not know this.
You hate my so-called anonymity not because I don't have courage of my
convictions but because it is no fun for you to hurl insults at that
which you cannot identify. It is fun for you to hurl insults at named
people.
You need people like Steve badly.

But with Quitefine and Blackguard, you must discuss ideas!
Or you can do as you are doing.
You can complain that we aren't real.


PAH! Whining.

We find it interesting
the anonymity of some
[such as 'Leo'] is respected,
while that of others is not.

Double standard?

Or neither.

We are real.
Who we are is not important.

Which bothers some people.

No. I'm not the least bit worried about about your identity. Makes
no real difference. However, the reaction of the PCTA, specifically
Steve/K4YZ/K4CAP, to any anonymous post that disagrees with him is a
call to arms, and usually results in a "cowardly scum" accusation.

Perhaps. I do think it's funny, though.

Would you beel better if I called you "gutless scum?" Well, maybe you
would but that's not my style. Say something bad about the Morse Code
exam, and you'll get plenty of it.

I complain only that you receive preferential treatment for anonymii.
It is merely my way of making another point with respect to the PCTA
Double Standard.

That is important enough to point out again and again.

I'm still thinking about pulling a Cecil. Life is much more pleasant

So WHAT, Brian? Steve is Pro code test, so you decide everyone who is
pro code test is like Steve?

If Steve has a problem with anonymous posters, so what?

I'm certainly not going to condemn every anonymous poster no matter if
they disagree with me or not. I won't condemn Blackguard or Quitefine or
Leo or any of them.

It ain't my fight, and you'll not be able to make it my fight. I may
occasionally have something to say if one of them makes a particularly
offensive post, but none of them have.

You are taking two different things here, notably the fact that some of
us don't condemn anonymous posters, and furthermore, we also don't
condemn anonymous posters that may agree with us, and expecting
something that just isn't human nature. Now when the anonymous poster
disagrees with us, its more likely that a person will say something
negative about the anonymous poster, but that doesn't mean we all have to.

You can post as Billybeeper all day as far as I am concerned. Leo is
civil, and I have no problem with that.

Steve thinks elsewise. Argue the point with him.


Perhaps I am Mike Coslo. Perhaps I am Jim Miccolis. Maybe I am both!

Not our argument, Brian. I don't think I've ever made a condemnation of
an anonymous poster, with the possible exception of a fellow that I
outed a year or so ago. And I'm not sure if I dissed him or just outed
him. But even if I did, it may have come across in a post in which I was
arguing with someone. At which point it was part of our argument. And If
I did, it was not a good point.

No PCTA double standard
No NCTA double standard

We've known Cecil, and you're no Cecil.

And we've all known all along that you were on some other "side"...

Agreed.

You write as if the actions of
one are the actions of all. They
are not.

Consider the reaction of
Lenover21 to any anonymous
post that disagrees with him.
It is predictable with a high
degree of confidence that he
will respond with insults and name calling.

Would you consider his responses
to be the same as all 'NCTA' people?

Or are they just his?

For that matter,
consider the reaction of
Lenover21 to any
post that disagrees with him.

Yet you tolerate and condone
Len's behaviour.

Perhaps. I do think it's funny, though.

Then we have fulfilled

You attribute the behaviour of
one, to all. That is illogical.

Yet you ignore similar behaviour
by Lenover21 and yourself.
