Dave:

Cut the BS. You don't like me. You seek to discredit and make ground
though character assassination and any other dirty trick you learned in
grade school... no one cares... not even me... stay there if you wish...

I cannot fathom what you get from such, or what rewards such behavior has
paid you in the past, but then, all depends on what you are after I
suppose. Frankly, it is just my nature to hope you enjoy it, whatever it
may do for you...

Your ideas are bit strange, you probably didn't like old ben franklin when

I've read Ben Franklin. You're no Ben Franklin.

Perhaps you refuse to read books when the author
has adopted a pen name?

If he claims to speak "the truth" then, no. Have you written books as
"John Smith"?

Perhaps you despise actors for adopting a stage
name?

I'm fine with actors. I've watched Alec Baldwin in movies and don't
have a problem with him *as an actor*. When Alec Baldwin pontificates
on politics, I don't give him any credence. Are you the actor "John Smith"?

Perhaps your appreciation of a rose is solely based upon its' name,
and "by another name, a rose is NOT a rose?"

You may have a point. I'm not likely to purchase a rose bush of the
variety "John Smith".

Funny, it is principals and NOT personalities which have the true merit
and worth--you seem to lack ability to grasp that concept...

Your recent stuff reads like the rantings of homeless folks I've
encountered in New York. There is little of principal and little of
fact. Actually, there's been little of your stuff in which true merit
and worth has been addressed or established.

a good old
buddies club where you only accept argument when it comes from a name you
recognize is not available to you always, let me see, in real life
those individuals who assign worth of an idea based on the persons
identity whose idea it is, is called, in slang mind you, a "Kiss Ass"
or "Brown Noser"... you are lost without knowing the identity behind
the idea!

Not so, "John Smith". If I'm present at a town council meeting, folks
are free to state their opinions. They have faces and they give their
names. No pseudonyms are permitted and no one stands behind a velvet
drape to present his views.

Perhaps the voting system of the USA is found in fault with
you--it seems to guarantee anonymity... you seem to need a face and a
character to attack--character assassination is your forte!

You can't walk into any polling place, unregistered and vote. Your
identity is known and you've previously presented credentials which
establish your right to vote. What is not known on election day is *how
you voted*.

You don't have a face nor any identifiable character to attack and here
I am attacking your statements. Go figure!

You seem to avoid argument on only an ideas worth, resorting to
attacking thin air in an effort to confuse the unwitting... well, some
just must proceed with the handicaps the world, God and nature assigns
them, or they choose to shackle themselves with... strange though, how
you choose to make yourself a prime example of the close minded "good ole
boys" I mention, it almost makes me think you get the idea on some
unconscious level and act out emotionally (but in text form) on what is
presented--strange...

Your recent rantings present wild numbers and unverified percentages of
individuals within amateur radio. You've made some unsubstantiated
claims about the ARRL and about currently licensed radio amateurs. I'm
not going to let you get by with that unchallenged. It is quite easy to
hide behind your sofa and make pathetic claims as an anonymous writer.

Yep, what we need is more men who hide behind a pseudonym rather than
openly standing by their convictions. As "John Smith", you can post
your views without any personal repercussions--and you can check into a
cheap motel with some floozy.
