Hi Mike Please forgive my blunt words, but It's about your tone what is bothering me. I see that all too often happening on this list. You are the first one responding here on his message. Surely one could ask OK1RD some questions, pass some information/experience on topic?
OK1RD in the end, might be right or wrong. I still do not get the picture. 73 Mark PA5MW -----Original Message----- From: Mike Smith VE9AA <ve...@nbnet.nb.ca> Sent: Monday, March 23, 2020 13:13 PM To: pa...@home.nl; topband@contesting.com Subject: RE: Topband: DXCC Committe I'm not sure what your beef is with me , Mark/PA5MW. All I did was summarize his emails and brought no extra facts, opinions or innuendo's into play. I jumped to no conclusions. I asked a question at the end (the hail-mary bit) He started this, not me. In the end, he's the guy that has to look back at himself in the mirror. If there is some mistake or misunderstanding, I sure didn't make it. I can appreciate that English is probably not his first language, but I am not understanding his side of it and seek clarification. 73 Mike VE9AA Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB -----Original Message----- From: pa...@home.nl [mailto:pa...@home.nl] Sent: March 23, 2020 9:06 AM To: 'Mike Smith VE9AA'; topband@contesting.com Subject: RE: Topband: DXCC Committe OK, so let me get this straight: You sent the DXCC desk a Doctored card ==> *check* (that was clearly explained up front) got busted ==> negative contribution (that is the 'fact' needing to be peer-reviewed) then claimed you didn't send it ==> your interpretation (you just wanted them to admire your skills?) ==> negative contribution got kicked out of the DXCC program and are now mad about it, ==> yes he is. (still see that negative tone here) so are throwing a Hail-Mary so someone here might help? ==> negative contribution **See a pattern here Mike?** If there is any uncertainties on OK1RD's topic or, if you just must jump to that conclusion immediately, I would rather suggest you put in some elements which can help the discussion here. Some of us might see things differently and it would be helpful if people share their knowledge ON topic.

I think all you've done is make it worse. Now we all know how it happened ! <snipped a whole bunch out from OK1RD> Hi, Above all, to all of us previously born solid health during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Let me show you how one can be easily kicked out from 1 position in spite of meeting all the competition rules. Please read carefully all E-mails copies sequentially sorted. No more notes just facts from my side. Orginals of correspondence are available. 73, Jarda-OK1RD _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
