That's not exactly correct, Len.

Shall we assume that the decision has been made?

Option 1?

Nah...he hasn't "chosen" anything but "business as usual."

Jimmie's technique goes something like this:

He picks out phrases, sentences, or (rarely) whole paragraphs
and then asks "pointed questions" as if he is a "prosecuting
attorney" or as the "judge" of this less-than-noble Moot Court.
Then he will belabor those specific points in long, voluminous
postings, probably hoping the subject will get tired, get angry,
make a dumb comment. If a "dumb comment" is made, he will then
belabor THAT in the usual absurb minutae. The subject eventually
just gives up bothering to post and Jimmie feels vindicated; he
has established HE is "right." Smirk time.

If challenged on any point, he will belabor that with/without
misdirection onto similar but not directly related subjects.
Or he will simply state the challenger is "in error," "doesn't
have 'parenting experience'," or just doesn't know as much as
the "judge/prosecutor." That goes into minutae and misdirection
again until the challenger just gives up. More smirks, more
feelings of Jimmie's vindication. He emerges "triumphant."

Now, in his reply to challenges on his partly wrong statement,
plus misdirection into some American national politics (out of
place, but then that doesn't matter to USA amateur extras), he
does NOT acknowledge he was in error of anything. He simply
issues the imperious "you are right" or "you are incorrect" or
(in some mollifying attempt at partial appeasement from another
thread) he STATES "that's not exactly correct!" He has fashioned
his personna into the LAWGIVER, the one who judges but is never,
ever himself judged.

Radio regulation in the USA is governed by the entirety of Title
47, Code of Federal Regulation. Amateur radio is not solely
confined to Part 97 of that Title...yet he keeps referring solely
to that one Part. [that one Part is available on the ARRL web-
site...but in various pieces, albeit complete, on the U.S.
Government Printing Office archives page for Titles of the Codes
of Federal Regulations] He regards only the ARRL copy as "the
reference," thus forgetting several other Parts in Title 47 which
do, definitely apply in LAW here.

But, if Jimmie is challenged again, he goes deeper into absurd
minutae, perhaps wandering into phrase meanings in the law as if
he is one of the Supreme Court judges. [Lawgivers get like that]
[in the U.S. Army we called them "barracks room lawyers"] [but
Jimmie was never IN the military in the USA] [we don't even know
how many children he has "parented"...he won't say, yet demands
that of others]

Lawgivers sometimes get lost in their own self-appointed, self-
grandiose rhetoric...such as the one who started this particular
thread using what amounts to a Consultant to the FCC in the
Enforcement Bureau Spectral Enforcement Division...Riley
Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth has law credentials. The Lawgiver
does not. Hollingsworth is NOT a Commissioner, isn't on any of
the Commissioners' special Staffs, yet the Lawgiver makes Riley
a big, important guru status. A status almost as great as the
ARRL's "CEO" (probably "President for Life" soon), Dave Sumner.
One can almost see the editorial page in QST forming as the
Lawgiver extolls his mighty rhetoric upon the masses at the
beginning of this thread.

Woe be unto the Disbelievers of the Lawgiver, for they shall be
forever known as WRRRONNNNGGGGGG.

"Ask not for whom the bel tolls, it tolls for thee, A. G."

[the humor impaired will not notice the "bel" so I won't explain]

Business as usual.
