Yes, I did make a point. Whether you left voluntarily, or you were
removed at gun point, is a semantic matter-- the point is that you did not
stay and fight. The conflict remained in your absense. You did nothing to
defend democracy, because you didn't participate in the fight. You did not
risk life and property by leaving the fight behind you.

There was no fight, other than in the media. The junta fell when the members
started to disagree, and elections were finally held. In aobut 8 years, I
saw 5 changes of government, only two by elections. On person alone could
not do anything about that...


Then don't sell yourself as a Freedom Fighter. Do not sell
yourself as Risking Life and Property as a Defender of Democracy.

You had been removed from the game. No risk. No defense.


Whether there was personal risk or loss is one thing. Whether you
risked, or lost defending democracy is something else.

The fact is, I did lose everything from home to business.

Again, thank you for making my point. You lost, but you did not
risk. You accepted your losses and you left. Risk in the Defense of
Democracy would have required you to remain and make a stand. You did
not. Put whatever spin you wish on this, the facts are that you didn't
risk in the defense of democracy. You didn't make your stand. You took
your screwing by the junta and left.

Doroteo Arámbula you are not.

You cannot regale us with your implications of heroic defense of a
cause, when you didn't face the conflict. Put a weapon in your hand and
make a stand, yes, then, you'd be a hero.

Put you on a plane at gunpoint and you're just another faceless
American who got run out of a South American dictatorship to return to
the country he worked so hard to leave.

If it weren't so insulting it could be a Movie of the Week.

With each telling, you more become Cliff Clavin: Invincibly
convinced of his superiority, while cluelessly the butt of everyone's
jokes. Going and blowing about his great feats, while in reality being
just a mailman. A letter carrier, who hides behind his uniform as some
great hero of Liberty and Democracy, who, in fact, has done nothing but
carry mail. And lives with his mother.

I have no doubt that you've lived a life and accomplished things
that you're proud of. That many of us would respect. But your self
aggrandizements cut the nuts off your credibility, and point to
something that's less than there may actually be.

And that's a shame. Because, here, in this group, we're all
allies. Disparate. Broadly distributed in social position. And
economics. But, here to share experiences of radio hobbycraft, and some
more general interests. Here, we're all colleagues. Having a beer.

And then there's you. The guy in the uniform at the end of the
bar. Telling us all of his heroics.

I thought you were better than that.

Apparently, I was embarrassedly mistaken.





Chauncey, your stories, and supporting evidence on your website, change
with the telling.

The bio part, aside from the addition of some scans that have been provided
by people I knew (I'm about to add pictures of my outside engineer and car
racing partner, Eduardo Curz, from his son who found them following
Eduardo's death) the teext has not changed for about 10 years.

Scans of documents supporting your claims, however, have. As
documented in this group. DXAce having made that point more than a year
ago. Myself having witnessed what he pointed out had changed.

You're very good at playing semantic games. Your debate coach
would be proud. But you are in conflict with your own facts. Your
credibility, like CCU's stock price, is slipping.


Doroteo Arámbula you are not.

Nor would I want to be.


Probably the truest thing you've said, to date.
