All anyone has to do is hit his big button (disagree with him on the code-test issue) and then Len will respond in a very predictable, negative, attacking, insulting way to almost anything the person posts. If someone who has hit Len's Big Button dares to point out a mistake (even a minor one) Therein lies the heart of the issue. There are some in here who respond all out of proportion to others missives. We have them on both sides of the Morse/no Morse issue. Yep. Jim, you are obviously not one of them. I hope not! But it can get a bit odd to point out (in a nice way) that someone has clearly misunderstood something in Part 97, or has a couple of relevant facts wrong, and then be set upon as if I had desecrated a national monument. Or to be blamed for what someone else has posted. (KH2D, a PCTA Extra named Jim, has obviously offended Len, so he takes it out on me, a PCTA Extra named Jim...) Or to be quoted as writing things I did not write. (N0IMD's misquotes of what I wrote about the code test and its incentives for code use). At least for me, when someone gets too abusive, I just don't bother to reply. Yep - in some cases I simply stop reading what they write. Does that mean they "win"? Only as much as anyone wins one of these protracted whizzin' contests in here. The question comes down to whether or not one should allow an error of fact (not opinion) to go uncorrected, or to allow a misquote to go unanswered, or to engage in a multiround series of posts correcting the error of fact or the misquote. It's all entertainment. 8^) ARE YOU BEING ENTERTAINED?!?! (from "Gladiator") 73 de Jim, N2EY |
