But Carl calmed down and cleaned up his act about 5 years ago. Maybe it was his exposure to W1RFI and some others. Maybe it was his anti-BPL work, maybe it was his upgrading to Extra and getting a 2x1 vanity call that caused the change. I am pretty sure that those epithets were strictly Lenniesque. I remember some heated exchanges with Carl, but never remember him falling back to Third Reich references. In either case, Good Luck to Carl...Stepping up to an elected post in ANY volunteer organization can be a very fulfilling experience. It must have been Len's work. I apologize to incorrectly attributing such statements to Carl. I searched and found only a couple of similar things which could be traced to Carl: 1996 "Discipline and blind acceptance of dogma are crucial if your idea of government is the jackbooted, indocrinate the youth, cram 'the way' down everyone's throats whether they like it or not because we say so" form of government ... that seems to be the pro-code ideal in many cases ..." 1997 to Mike Deignan: "That you pro-coders wish to limit participation in the debate to only incumbent, coded hams shows your EXTREME need for control and your EXTREME lack of good faith in these debates. Your tactics border on Fascist/Totalitarian_dictatorship (gee, that's a LOT like the ARRL BOD as I think about it ...) in nature, because you seek to eliminate/ignore all voices who dare utter opposing views." 1998 to me: "It would seem that your *facist* beliefs would preclude the possibility of freedom of choice in such matters when that choice would disagree with your personal preference, even though that choice would have virtually NO impact on you." and "Right Dave ... and everyone who has ever been accused of war crimes tried to use the excuse 'I was just following orders. It wasn't *MY* fault.' Wrong is wrong ... and your tacit support of the maintenance of tyranical Morseodism marks you amongst the guilty despite your protestations to the contrary." Additionally, I ran across a couple of Carl's past statements on the League and its officials: From late 1997: "What part of that surprises you??? Sumner is a weasel and all he cares about is begging for more money so he can make sure his paycheck doesn't bounce." and "I hope it made you feel better to 'vent' ... because I'll bet money that that was all the exercise (telling your ARRL BOD member how you felt) was good for ... I have YET to find one who gives a damn what anyone else thinks ... maybe one exists, but I sure haven't found him/her." and "I have yet to find a BOD member who has a good answer for ANYTHING, Gary." and "So he's a typical ARRL official ... backward and clueless." and "The BOD member I am talking about is EXACTLY like that ... he has NO vision whatsoever ... he comes across nice, and he's probably worked DXCC, but he is totally clueless about anything that is more than minimally technical and he has all of the leadership instincts of a sub-average lemming. But he's SO nice ... in a Bill_Clinton_slick_politican/really_smooth_used_car_salesman sort of way, so he keeps getting elected." Dave K8MN |
