You and me? Sure. Jim/N2EY and I? Sure. Brian and I? Sure. Here's who
I wouldn't even consider being in the same room with: Larry Roll, Dick
Carroll, Dan/W4whatever, Dave Heil, Waddles (Waddles is non-existent in my
book), and that's just a few. I have no desire to "get along" with people
like that.

Kim:

Well, that's pretty sad. I guess you're overlooking the fact that a person's
online "personality" can be quite different than what one would experience
in person, since the written word, particularly in a virtually immediate forum
such as Usenet, is, indeed, quite impersonal by nature. Moreover, your
expression of a lack of desire to meet with certain members of this forum
could cause all the rest, even those not included on your list, to not wish
to meet with you.

I would jump at any chance to meet any and all of the regulars in this
newsgroup, for no better reason than to see what they are really like in
person. I think that even Len Anderson could prove to be a quite affable
chap, given a chance to get to know him better. I may be wrong, but
at least I'm willing to take that chance. I would like to think that given
the opportunity, your curiosity would ultimately get the upper hand over
your stated objections. If not, one could quite legitimately call your
character into question, at a level far deeper than anything ever said
in this forum.

And, I would be upset....because? I don't get on a forum in a newsgroup
with the intention of meeting and greeting. Your excuses for your behavior
that this is "just a newsgroup" are weak and shrill at best. I think those
of us who probably would meet in real life are those who have been frank and
honest about who we are, up front and without using the guise of a newsgroup
to act in a manner inconsistent with who we are as people. THOSE are the
people who would end up meeting and not having to waste time muddling
through who we are and who we ain't, Larry.

I am not in least bit curious about the majority of people in this
newsgroup. Most of all, those mentioned above.

All we are here is merely a typeset or font! Until I either talk to the
person in person, on the phone or over the air, all of these people here are
merely fictional characters in my book. No way to really prove it is even
them posting for that matter, and I take most negative comments with a grain
of salt in that matter. To me it is purely entertainment, with the rare,
occasional educational value to it.

I would agree as well, because after sitting down and actually chatting with
all of these people, we might actually find out that some of these people
are not really as bad as we think. At least we then could say we actually
"have gotten to know" each other and not just see them for the way in which
they communicate here, which may not necessarily be the way they are in
person. Can you imagine that even Brucie might actually be a decent person
in real life? Hell, anything is possible.

I had another idea, of which I thought would be cool..... Since we all need
to practice on message handling/sending, I think it would be cool to get
some type of message traffic going with RRAP people as the participants.
The only problem I have is, with sending message traffic, everything I have
learned from "old school" hams is that you MUST have a phone number included
with the message traffic. I personally do not wish to have my number go
through the system which now is a cellphone number, as opposed to a landline
number. Am I wrong in my information that within a messagegram that you
MUST include a phone number????

If I am not wrong, anyone feel like sharing traffic ?? Send your interest
and contact info that you wish to use to my email address of kc8pmxNO JUNK
OR (remove the NO JUNK OR SPAM to reply.) I definitely
can always use the practice, and what the hell, it might actually be fun!

Kim, get the OM a shiney new pair of HD brass-riveted jeans and
yourself a shiney new HD steel-belted brittany spear brazier, and join
us at Dayton 04.

I promise I won't make any Texas jokes til you'se guys show up.

By the way, do you know how they separate the men from the boys in
Texas...

No, Brain, it was YOUR "Avenging Angel" personna that was at
work. When YOU do something like that it's "levity"...trying to get
someone to "lighten up". When I say something similar you whip out
this new "Avenging Angel" spin in order to try and disguise your own
conduct.

I say it's yet one more example of following in the footsteps of
Lennie the Liar..."Don't So As I Do...Do As I Say"...

Bascially, I just think you're two-faced.

Being able to "apologize" is worthy, Brian.

Being able to not offend in the first place is even better.

It's not about "destroy(ing) anyone who might disagree with

and is known to others.

You make silly, even stupid assertions and claims and then take
offense when people pile up on you for being silly and stupid.

That's YOUR "fault".

There are many falsehoods promoted on RRAP. Yet you target only Len
(and me) for destruction. Your Avenging Angel Wings provide sanctuary
to your favorite falsehoods. In doing so, you lie to yourself.

You make silly, even stupid assertions and claims and then take
offense when people pile up on you for being silly and stupid.

That's YOUR "fault".

I accept and admit that I made a mistake, and I apologized.

What is your excuse?
