If this PUBLIC venue is insufficient to "discuss"
matters about Rec.radio.amateur.policy, then it is
not productive to consider that private correspondence
is also "useful." I've received quite enough of those
in the past. I've received some angry, petulant
responses while engaged in Instant Messaging with my
wife who was visiting up north while our niece was
undergoing a risky corrective operation. I had neglected
to set my AOL blocking controls fully and now have to
allow only certain screen names through. I have
received a couple of telephone messages from irate
individuals. That was during a trip, were duly
recorded along with their desitination number, all
forwarded to telephone company security people and
the LAPD Stalking unit (LAPD does not consider ANY
form of stalking as minor or trivial). Neither do I
live in any form of "fear" of anything...it is tiring
to see so many wanting to "fight" via messages as if
they could "accomplish" anything that way.

That wasn't me. Just give your consent, and I can make public (on a
web
page, no need to annoy the newsgroup), our entire E-mail conversation
and allow others to judge its content.

Lennie's rantings were about me, Paul.

Many, MANY years ago, I "saw" Lennie on his "Lenover21" screen
name and tried to IM him...This was back when I still held the idea
that, newsgroup "spats" notwithstanding, men could still talk like men.

Nope. Not Lennie. I tried to say hello...then hello again after
no response and a few moments time. More than enough time to say "I'm
chatting with spouse who is with sick family member...Can't talk now",
or something similar.

He never responded. I "signed off" with "Guess you're too busy to
talk to me...Will see you in the newsgroup".

What we've been bombarded with eversince is this "He Beat Me Up In
IM's!" rantings which were NEVER anything of the like...

But it did give him a chance to claim, just like he has on so many
OTHER occassions, that things happened "one way" when nothing of the
like did...

Good luck trying to rationalize with him. Like you said...He's
fighting for fighting's sake.
