who wants to demean

with HIS "definition" of "pay,"
that of "being subsidized by the taxpayer."

Why do you think the word "subsidized" is demeaning, Len?

I quoted a definition for "subsidy" from the Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary:

"a grant to a private person or company to assist an enterprise deemed
advantageous to the public"

What is demeaning about that?

"subsidize" is defined in the same book as "to furnish with a subsidy"

Now of course it's clear that someone who is directly employed by the
government is not "a private person or company", so the word doesn't
really apply to anyone who gets a direct government paycheck.

OTOH, governments subsidize all kinds of things. Why do you think the
word "subsidized" is demeaning, Len?

How many newcomers actually read rrap?

How many *people* actually read rrap?

Anymore? None. Today it's just a cesspool for want of an apology.

I see no other choice but the draconian one of simply
stopping everything in the newsgroup for an indefinite
period.

How would that be done, Len? Who has the authority to shut down rrap?
Obviously you do not, because you would have done it by now.

No, wait, that's not right. You don't always do what you say you are
going to do.

Len, if you want rrap to go silent, why don't you lead the way?

Perhaps you want rrap to continue, because without it, you'll not be
able to rant the way you have for the past decade or so.

Nobody will be able to post. Not morsemen,
not no-code-test advocates, not the sociopaths, misfits,
the anony-mousies in here.

Not even you, Len.

I've suggested it to Paul
Schleck twice...but all he wants to do is engaging
me in some "Personal, non-professional life" background
check.

You mean he's pointed out how *your* behavior doesn't meet IEEE
standards....

I see a contradiction, Len.

On the one hand you want rrap shut down.

On the other hand, you don't want a moderated newsgroup, and you attack
the person who wants to set one up.

Sounds like you have issues with control, Len. Self-control, that is.
You realize that your postings are buried in the noise here, but on a
moderated newsgroup they'd not be allowed. You'd have to control your
behavior on a moderated newsgroup, and that's a problem for you.

Proof? W0EX/SK said he wanted to destroy the ARS since he
couldn't have ham radio his way.

When did he say that? Show us the posting where he wrote such a thing.

Do your own homework.

Har! Good old "show us the posting" MISDIRECTION.

How is it misdirection?

btw, Len, you don't have to keep trying to convince me. I'm convinced!
