Next up, Jim will once again attempt to invoke Mr.
Godwin's rule.
"attempt"? Hardly!
snip
Attempt, definitely. Because, as has been demonstrated many times
before, the discusion will continue regardless of whether
Godwin's impotent rule has been 'invoked' or not.
The version of Godwin's rule that I use says that the person
who uses stoops to calling their opponent "Hitler", "Nazis"
or references to them, has lost the argument. That the
discussion continues is irrelevant. Len has lost the argument.
I see. Thanks for clearing that up, Jim - for a minute there, I was
afraid that you hadn't accomplished anything useful there!
So it wasn't an "attempt" but a success.
Was it? Not really - the discussion will continue.
Heh heh heh. The "Seig Heil" is, etymologically speaking, a
SALUTE...as in the speaker meaning "we salute you." :-)
What is interesting is the reverse psychology to The Big Lie
technique of the late 1930s' national socialist partei changed
that to be some kind of sole honorific to Adolf Hitler.
The major cause of the reverse psychology was a rather good
(technically speaking) totally-slanted "documentary" done by
a German gal with the given name of "Leni." :-) :-)
But it just had to be done, didn't it?
No, it didn't. But I did it anyway.
Of course you did. You had to!
Nope. I chose to.
The choice, Sir, was not yours to make - you simply could not resist
doing so.
I mentioned a trilogy by novelist Len Deighton the other day.
Here's another trilogy by the same author, same characters, etc:
"Hook, Line, Sinker." :-)
I may have to market my bait. Sounds like its a money-maker!
It appears to be irresistable!
Is there a problem with that? Do you think Len's slurs
are acceptable behavior?
There are several folks here whose 'slurs' and language are
much worse
than this example
Yes, Len has done worse....
Is that what I said? Don't think so!
Had you two been turned around on that, Jimmie would DEMAND you
SHOW THE QUOTE!!!! :-)
Jimmie thinks he be barrister in the Queen's Bench. His wig is
on crooked...
(a reference to the bumbling and
comical 'Nazis' on "Hogan's Heroes")
The Fuhrer was a feldwebel in WW1
Godwin invoked.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Jimmie not know that the title of "fuhrer" (with
an emphasis on the second syllable, not the first) is an old, old
European military title of French origin. It means a grade that
is usually in between the underofficer (NCO) and "commissioned"
officer...vaguely like the USA warrant officer...and means simply
"leader."
It's use got remarkably altered from origin to later times, much
the same as the word "ham" went from its original "bad, sloppy,
non-professional" radio operation to glorious noble champion of
all radio, the amateur.
- always has been, always will be.
That claim is incorrect. Usenet is not eternal.
[only Jimmie eternal...]
It's not my job
to run around and point that out all day every day.
You have avoided the question.
Do you think Len's slurs are acceptable behavior?
Not my job to judge that, Jim. That's apparently your role.
I hear he gets paid quite a bit in that job.
Your argument seems to be that since Len will probably exhibit
his typical immature ethnic-slur Godwin-violating bad-pun
Unknown-Soldier-insulting jackass behavior anyway, there's no
point in pointing out when he is, indeed, exhibiting his typical
immature ethnic-slur Godwin-violating bad-pun Unknown-Soldier-insulting
jackass behavior. Is that about right?
Nope. You have avoided the question.
Jimmie do dat a lot. Mucho so when he totally ****ed off. :-)
Perhaps you have a valid point, since if what Len seeks is
attention, pointing out his typical immature ethnic-slur
Godwin-violating bad-pun Unknown-Soldier-insulting jackass behavior
gives him that attention.
[K4YZ use "PUTZ," "coward," "dishonor" etc and dat be okay]
[anyting use by PCTA okay...anyting by NCTA be "immature
ethnic-slur, Godwin-invoking, jackass behavior" if not
praise PCTA and morsemanship......:-) ]
(73 de Jim etc. sig missing again)
Not missing - omitted.
In a fit of pique? As an insult? Forgot, maybe!
Lid-like behaviour, wouldn't you think?
Jimmie need to "put a lid on it..." :-)
The original meaning of "73" is "a friendly greeting
between operators". In the context of amateur radio,
this means between amateur radio operators.
In the words of Hans - thank you, Captain Obvious!
Jimmie try to be cross between Miss Manners and Sister
Nun of the Above. Jimmie get as far as "cross."
Tsk. Origin of "73" (as well as "88") was among COMMERCIAL
telegraphers of the 1800s. Just a shorthand by them to cut
time in standard ending salutations common to written comms
of that era.
It would be inappropriate to use the greeting to
someone who is not an amateur radio operator.
Which I am. And have stated many times before.
Poor memory? Google 'er up.....
Tsk, tsk. Jimmie, representative of the "amateur community,"
dons his barrister wig and robes and proclaims "appropriate"
and "inappropriate" behaviour (especially with his "you") by
"all hams." Looks impressive but is dum**** behavior by
self-proclaimed, self-righteous ruler-spank by Sister Nun of
the Above.
73, Leo
(73 de Jim omitted apparently intentionally - boo hoo 
)
73, Leo.
Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee.........
