Why don't you exercise some civility and self-control?


I am I am in full control of myself, and the object of the address has
stated that she does not find it offensive or insulting

...and you have no thought at all for anyone else who might find it
offensive or insulting.


then don't read it was targeted for you anyway

Let's see. It was targeted for me...but I shouldn't read it. Right?

You have no right not to be offended

You have no right to offend.

You bitch if I lie but you bitch if I tell the truth, so what should I
do? I choose to do as I think best

You admit to lying at your convenience. You've conducted a malicious
campaign of pure fabrications at me. You've even lied when confronted
by archived material. Why should I believe you ever about anything?

In using that form of address I choose to be honest about my assement
of the target, and to state so plainly (avoiding it here since I am
addressing you so I show my thoughtfullness for everyone else)

This newsgroup is public. All posts can be viewed by anyone. Do you
have disrespect for everyone?

you have no thought for offending folks yourself why should I be held
to higher standard than you.

I've never called anyone the names you used. I've never conducted a
campaign of lies directed at anyone. How do you think you are being
held to a higher standard. In just the past couple of days, you've gone
way overboard on a couple of issues.

You will not even allow me to say "thank God" without flaming me

Are you a polytheistic pagan as you stated in one of your more perverse
postings to another group or did you lie about that too?

I will now remind you of the word of the figure you call the Lord God,
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" the Gospel according
Matthew I believe.

risking being held over bearing (but claiming full licesen after your
efforts to lecture me about my religion) I will point that many
religous scholars hold this as a injuction against comdeming, since
(accrdoing to Christain faith) we are all sinners

You failure to follow the teachings of your faith, while seeking to ram
your morality down my throat is one of the reasons I refuse to trust
you, and decline your "Challenge"

You can't use my faith, something in which you do not believe, against
me. My religion also teaches about recognizing evil, not embracing it.
I don't believe that every view is valid, that there is no right or
wrong. In fact, you practice a number of things which my religion
considers abhorrent.

What do your gods teach?

It was all set up in your favor, Mark, the odds, the reporting of scores
to ARRL, monitoring of my activity but no monitoring of your activity,
your use of PC and code reading software.


but it doesn't anything if I don't trust you, and I don't trust you

....and you don't trust the ARRL and you don't trust the monitors you and
I would agree on and you don't trust yourself to do well.

The catch is you don't tell the turth and so I don't believe you

Every word I've told you is the truth. I've publicly offered the
challenge here. I've offered for my operation to be monitored.
How much spine do you have? How much of an advantage do you need?
Think of your recent postings about how you could identify a morse
distress call and handle the message traffic using your PC and
code-reading software. Doesn't your self-respect enter into this?


I don't beleive you, it is as simple as that.

....and you don't believe in any of the safeguards I've offered you.
My operation would be monitored. Yours would not.

I don't beleive you'd ever accept the results if they work in my favor

The scores would be published. The number of QSOs made by each station
would be a part of that record.

Your apporeval is not needed by me for my self respect (thank god)

Thank gods? It wouldn't be for my approval, Mark. You'd have overcome
your victimhood persona. Even if the playing field was tilted in your
direction, you could have made a real statement.

I
know I can work CW if I wish...

So you say.

... wether I can work it as well as (or
1/10th 100x beter) you or not is not important to me

Apparently not.

Believe it or not I am not into the same sorts of Macho games you seem
to be into
having spent as much BW on this as I feel like right now cutting the
rest

I never figured you as one to be involved in macho games of any sort,
Mark. You could have competed and done your best. You've opted not to
participate. The choice was yours.
