NOT a good image." --Len Anderson Sometimes you even snap and snarl at those who share your goals, Len. sometimes he does as is his right. I am sure he will even agree you have the right to snap and snarl at everyone who disgrees with you but you missed the point(s) as usaul Amoug them being Your snap at everyone, your right but not a good image. Len does reserve to right to snapp at folks too, event hose he shares goals with Len may have the "right" to do a lot of things, but if he truly wants to "win friends and influence people" in this debate, and leave a personal legacy other than that of a Usenet "kook," he might want to take stock of who are his allies and who are his enemies. And even enemies can become allies on some issues. Recently, Len insisted that he only posts facts and truth, and challenged me to find examples otherwise. When I did, finding several recent errors and subjective interpretations, rather than acknowledge or rebut them, he chose to change the subject and accuse me of being a hanging "judge" for daring to criticize. Len also seems to feel he is entitled to unlimited public revenge against those who have slighted him, and will lash out reflexively, and Serdar Argic style, whenever anyone posts with certain "hot-button" keywords like Morse Code. Serdar accused anyone who disagreed with him as "criminal Armenian," even those who were ethnic Japanese. Similarly, I wonder if invectives like "Macho Morsemen" are aimed at Kim and Dee Dee, also. When I pointed out areas of agreement, including one example where I was the only one to side with him in this forum, he replied with, "I don't give a flying fig about your 'position.'" I also wonder why most of those that try to defend Len choose to post anonymously. I have agreed with Len on some issues, and have posted with my real name. One red flag that someone is being tuned out is the number of likely sock puppets that start to orbit around him. Indeed you miss out on the fact the Nocoders do disagree amoug ourselfs, and we are free to to do so, a sign of the greater freedom espoused by the NoCoders I'm happy to debate with anyone on any subject, and though I may disagree, I will treat that person respectfully, even going so far as to separate behavior from personality. There's a difference between honest debate and sniping, insults, and ad-hominem attacks. It's also useful to clarify and make understandable your position by indicating whom you may agree with, rather than solipsistically dismissing any worldview other than your own with, "I don't give a flying fig about your 'position.'" but then you never seem to get the point, and indeed seem to prefer volumes on evasion rather than answer a few simple questions Dave K8MN My comments on this docket are forthcoming. No evasion or avoidance of simple questions are planned. -- 73, Paul W. Schleck, K3FU http://www.novia.net/~pschleck/ Finger for PGP Public Key |
