Next up, Jim will once again attempt to invoke Mr. Godwin's
rule.

"attempt"? Hardly!

Attempt, definitely. Because, as has been demonstrated many times
before, the discusion will continue regardless of whether Godwin's
impotent rule has been 'invoked' or not.


The version of Godwin's rule that I use says that the person
who uses stoops to calling their opponent "Hitler", "Nazis"
or references to them, has lost the argument. That the discussion
continues is irrelevant. Len has lost the argument.


I see. Thanks for clearing that up, Jim - for a minute there, I was
afraid that you hadn't accomplished anything useful there!


But it just had to be done, didn't it?


No, it didn't. But I did it anyway.


Of course you did. You had to!

Is there a problem with that? Do you think Len's slurs
are acceptable behavior?


There are several folks here whose 'slurs' and language are much worse
than this example (a reference to the bumbling and comical 'Nazis' on
"Hogan's Heroes") - always has been, always will be. It's not my job
to run around and point that out all day every day.

It's not my job to point that out to each and every participant on
this group Jim - is it yours? Why?

So it wasn't an "attempt" but a success.

But it just had to be done, didn't it?


No, it didn't. But I did it anyway.


Of course you did. You had to!


Nope. I chose to.

Is there a problem with that? Do you think Len's slurs
are acceptable behavior?

Yes, Len has done worse....

(a reference to the bumbling and
comical 'Nazis' on "Hogan's Heroes")


The Fuhrer was a feldwebel in WW1

- always has been, always will be.


That claim is incorrect. Usenet is not eternal.

It's not my job
to run around and point that out all day every day.


You have avoided the question.

Do you think Len's slurs are acceptable behavior?

Your argument seems to be that since Len will probably exhibit
his typical immature ethnic-slur Godwin-violating bad-pun
Unknown-Soldier-insulting jackass behavior anyway, there's no
point in pointing out when he is, indeed, exhibiting his typical
immature ethnic-slur Godwin-violating bad-pun Unknown-Soldier-insulting
jackass behavior. Is that about right?

Perhaps you have a valid point, since if what Len seeks is
attention, pointing out his typical immature ethnic-slur
Godwin-violating bad-pun Unknown-Soldier-insulting jackass behavior
gives him that attention.


(73 de Jim etc. sig missing again)

Not missing - omitted.

The original meaning of "73" is "a friendly greeting
between operators". In the context of amateur radio,
this means between amateur radio operators.

It would be inappropriate to use the greeting to
someone who is not an amateur radio operator.

Was it? Not really - the discussion will continue.


But it just had to be done, didn't it?


No, it didn't. But I did it anyway.


Of course you did. You had to!


Nope. I chose to.


The choice, Sir, was not yours to make - you simply could not resist
doing so.


Is there a problem with that? Do you think Len's slurs

Yes, Len has done worse....


Is that what I said? Don't think so!


(a reference to the bumbling and

The Fuhrer was a feldwebel in WW1


Godwin invoked.

Do you think Len's slurs are acceptable behavior?


Not my job to judge that, Jim. That's apparently your role.

In a fit of pique? As an insult? Forgot, maybe!

Lid-like behaviour, wouldn't you think?

this means between amateur radio operators.


In the words of Hans - thank you, Captain Obvious!


It would be inappropriate to use the greeting to
someone who is not an amateur radio operator.


Which I am. And have stated many times before.

Poor memory? Google 'er up.....

(73 de Jim omitted apparently intentionally - boo hoo )
