Jim Miccolis has NEVER called the putz anything BUT "Len" or
"Leonard" or any other abbreviation of his name that Lennie didn't
himself use, yet Lennie's pelted him for YEARS with NUMEROUS
diminutives. You have too, yet I have NEVER seen Jim refer to YOU as
anything except "Brian", "Burke", or by your callsign.

N0IMD
We'll start with you. Once you've reformed, we'll work with Jim.

K4YZ
There's nothing to "work with" with Jim.
He's already established a track record of NOT calling people by diminutives.
He doesn't do it to Lennie...he doesn't do it to Mark or you.

So...What's YOUR excuse for doing it to him?

N0IMD
Like I said, we'll start with you and when you've shown improvement for
some period of time, we can move on to Jim. Jim may take only a minute
or two, but I'm trying to be inclusive here.

You keep suggesting that there's something to "move on to", Brian.
I want to know what it is you think you have to "move on to" vis-a-vis
conducting yourself to YOUR standards in talking to/about Jim Miccolis.

What's YOUR excuse for using diminutive language towards Jim
Miccolis when he's NEVER done it to you...?!?!

Steve, K4YZ

Steve, you're blowing it. I prefer to keep my name and callsign off of
the web. As you well know, my call is convertible to my address, and I
don't want that plastered on the web, either.

Then you shouldn't be here. Or do like Markie and get a PO box
or one of those surrogate mail delivery services.

Or is this just another "I Sure Hope My Family Won't Ever See How
I REALLY Behave" redirects?

You've got 24 hours to apologize and promise not to do so again.

So I guess THIS is the "direct answer" to the "direct question"...

Why am I not surprised...?!?!

Steve, K4YZ

Whatever made me think you'd behave yourself?

Two things come to mind:

(1) If you were REALLY that concerned, you would have done a
"Markie" and changed the subject line. This now makes the FIFTH
response with your name and call in it. Obviously it's NOT that big an
issue for you.

(2) What MISbehave? Did I call you a bad name? Did I threaten
you? No. I asked you a question that the HONEST answer to is going
to be embarrassing to you. THAT'S too bad, but it seems to be YOUR
norm here, too! You make all of these insulting insinuations of your
own, yet seem to think that it's all one sided.

So....the question STILL stands (as do a dozen others which you've
never anwered, but I am hopeful...) What is YOUR excuse for using
diminutives towards others that DON'T use them towards you?
