constant whining about Morse code, I figured it was appropriate....

Upon further digging on DejaNews (GOD! I just LOVE that service! The written
word, archived for all of eternity, is such a BITCH when it comes back to
bite you, as Lt. Major Admiral Morgan will soon find out...) I've uncovered
the following gems of wisdom from the Lt. Col.

Anyone remember the Lt. Col. when he first showed up? Yup. His recent change
of e-mail addresses to try and thwart Steve's auto-kill daemon reminded me
of his original e-mail address: kons...@geocities.com. Upon examining
DejaNews for that e-mail address, I found these gems.

I guess the reason the Major General is soooooo pissed off about Morse Code
licensing requirement is his doctor won't give him a waiver:

Hi there
I was diagnosed dyslexic, many years ago, have largely learned
to live with it by now (I am 34 yo and have a BA) Having gotten back
to dealing Ham Radio, I am back to dealing with Morse to at least
recieve a bit of and to docment today, my dyslexia, which would allow
both various changes in the Testing requirements. I need refences to
to help point my doctor ( an allergist) toward a test or three that
would support the fact that I still have dyslyexia today (FCC
dysbility requierments don't seem to realize that some things really
don't get much better with time) Idealy one that will lend some
support to the idea that I still have it, but are not too expensive to
for him to order given to me

So, let's re-cap Mark's wonderful life, shall we:

1) He was drafted into the US Army.
2) He is a member of the Chemical Corps.
3) The military won't let him retire.
4) He doesn't serve under the name 'Mark Morgan', but that's okay, 'cuz the
FBI, DOD, and CIA have all told him he can do it.
5) He is on-the-lam from stalking former marines and fatal attraction
ex-wives
6) He was, until recently, paying $5/hr. to access his ISP
7) He has a 248 IQ, but can't figure out how to use a spell checker.
8) He is a bi-sexual 33 yr. old Pagan male ham who likes to be spanked.
9) He can't find any action on the military base in Central IL, so he has to
ask people on USENET.

Have I missed anything?

Sorry I did miss this point. if he does not know by now then he has
not been reading my letters of resignation since each of them
mentions, indeed even cites it as a reason for resiging.

The current policy is one of allowing the military to
discharge a person in such a case. the military is forced howver to
apply this policy uniformly

As much as I disagree with Mark in many of his posts here, I
have to feel that a post such as this one is totally uncalled for.

It's one thing to demonstrate points where he has knowing lied
(i.e., the MA in History, the military commission, etc.), but another
thing altogether to drag either his sexual orientation or his religion
(PAGAN does NOT mean "People Against Goodness And Normalcy" and it is an
insult to all practitioners of the religious beliefs lumped together as
"Pagan" to refer to it in that way, rather like referring to "Baptist"
as "Bloodthirsty, Angry, Pedophilic, Twisted, Ignorant, Sodomites
Together") into the discussion.

Whether a member of this group--or of ham radio in general--is
gay, straight or bisexual, is celibate, monogamous, polygamous, or
polyamorous or is into straight or kinky sex is no one's business but
his or her own (so long as their actions don't involve force or
children--and the posts that were "recycled" here make no such
indication). If Mark is into bisexual non-traditional activities, that
is totally his business and should have no bearing on his posts to this
group.

I _do_ agree that his posts about dyslexia with respect to the
code test, and his post about his 1998 BA are relevant--but only because
both relate to statements made in this group. If he received a BA in
1998 it would be _impossible_ for him to already have an MA, and thus
his claims to this group can be demonstrated to be deliberate lies. This
DOES have a bearing on his veracity and on the extent to which we should
accept his statements at face value on any issue.

I've seen a great deal of homophobia (as well as some racism) in
the ham groups, and that's more than a little troublesome. One of the
things I have always respected about our hobby is the degree to which
people are accepted regardless of differences. We communicate and form
friendships with individuals in nations where the political, social, and
religious values differ enormously from our own (including quite a few
where the religion would be defined as "Pagan" by Christianity). Neither
homophobia, religious prejudice, nor any other form of bigotry has any
place in our hobby, and it's offensive to see it appear with the
regularity that it has in recent times in these newsgroups.

I believe Mark deserves an apology for the inappropriate
references to his sexual orientation--as do all other gay, bisexual,
and/or pagan hams who may be reading this newsgroup.

Oh yes, that's right. You are conscripted....he he he

That's from the movie Stategic Air Command, except Dutch is in the

Mark on the other hand can't get out?? Guess that figures since he was

A BA that turns into a Masters in History, yet Morgan is in the Chemical
Corps?? Maybe the African Korps. How History and Chemicals relate is

Quite contrair. Mr. Morgan's postings where publically posted and
accessible via DejaNews, and furthermore are direct evidence that
clearly prove that *IF* he were in fact in the military service, that he
would be dishonorably discharged if his superiors became aware of
his abnormal lifestyle. Given that the Fleet Admiral has made claims
in the past that he was commissioned, was a Lt. Col., later claimed he
was just a Lt. He's claimed that he has attempted to resign on numerous
occasions, but his superiors refuse to let him. Since you're new to this
newsgripe, you're excused for not knowing all of this.

Mike is taking his acid revenge out on anyone within striking distance.
He grows more upset each day waiting for Riley to knock on his PO Box door

Even this one doesn't take one of those $3.99/minute Tarot card readings
to figure out!

Trust me...the Armed Forces is NOT in need of Mark's "service" so bad that
they'd let him stay in, Chemical Corps or not. This kind of embarrasment is
NOT what they need.

(I will take this opportunity to point out the the USMC, considered
"extremist" by several female "pols", doesn't have this problem...or if it
finds out about it, puts the offender on the street before they can say "Oh
S***, I'm unemployed!)

Just keep up on current events on TV...they are discharging pilots (who
are ALREADY at a serious premium in the ranks) for having HETEROSEXUAL,
consensual sex.

You think someone like Mark would last one more day in uniform if his
assertions were true?

Sorry, Mark. We KNOW you are lying.

YOU know you are lying. If you'd just STOP lying we'd go on about
business...but you keep trying to reinvent these Walter Mitty delusions of who
and what you are, and it just ruins the $1.50 worth of credibility that you
have left.

And I see that you haven't taken the flipping hint, Mark...an ALLERGIST is
NOT the proper medical discipline to persue your neurological deficits through.

N-E-U-R-O-L-O-G-I-S-T.

Now try, just TRY and take a hint and get proper medical care.

Sure I do.

By referring to himself as a Pagan, Mark is stating that he is a
practitioner of the Wiccan faith.

While Pagan refers to a larger range of religions than Wicca
alone, that fact is irrelevant. Wicca is a legitimate religion with as
much right to be treated with respect as any Christian sect.

I assume you are referring to his values, not to his religion
with your interpretation of PAGAN, but the fact remains that if he had
stated, for example, that he were a Christian, you would never have
considered saying that this meant "Confused Homosexuals reveling in
sexually transmitted infections and nastiness."

Ignoring the fact that your statement "abnormal lifestyle" is
itself judgmental of others, the more important issue is that this is a
discussion group dealing with amateur radio not military service.
Exposing deliberate lies (such as the MA in History one) is
reasonable--that serves to put other participants on notice that he is
not to be believed (assuming he can be understood in the first place, of
course). In the same manner, providing evidence that he is lying about
his military status, his "Chemical" experience, his "dyslexia" (which
does NOT have the effect of distorting grammar, only word or character
order), etc. is totally reasonable. But showing that he is bisexual or
involved in non-traditional lifestyles does _not_ prove that he is not
in the military--only that if he is (I know, if he is pigs can fly, but
. . .) he has not been charged with homosexual behavior under the UCMJ
as yet. There is no reason to believe that his supposed superiors _are_
aware of his lifestyle, thus the references to his sexuality here are
inappropriate and simply serve as ways of attacking Mark personally.
Unfortunately, because of their nature, they may well hurt or offend
other members of the newsgroup as well. I'm not terribly concerned with
Mark's feelings in the matter--he is perfectly capable of defending
himself (although we may not understand what he is saying when he does),
but those other members of the group don't deserve to be hurt or
offended by posts meant to attack him.

Oh I've followed some parts of it. Again, I don't dispute the
appropriateness of attacking him for dishonesty. As a Vietnam Veteran
myself (albeit just an EM, not an officer), I'm irritated by those who
lie about having served in the military in order to enhance their
positions myself. I just don't see any relation between his lies and the
need to put down those who are gay (and before someone jumps in with a
predictable response, I'll point out that I don't have any personal
stake in the issue; I'm straight, have a teenage son, and have been
monogamously married for 20 years).

Sure, Mark...sure! Don't let anything like "BEING UNDERSTOOD" get in the
way of the virulent rhetoric and lies you spew forth here.

THIS is good!...Claims the "Army" taught him to be bi-sexual, THEN claims
he can't find any "action" on "the base".

Mark, you couldn't get your NAME right is it weren't onyour birth

Now, be nice.

It could have taught him to be bisexual.

Before the Army he may have thought himself gay.

We are all called upon to make judgements every day. Many of those we
make are, of necessity, value judgements. Mark's public posts draw
attention to his abnormality. He has even flaunted it here. His
bi-sexual S&M leanings are not, per the dictionary definition of the
word "abnormal", average, typical or usual. My values (and the
judgements I've used to form them) reject the practices in which Mark
Morgan engages.

I've also made a judgement that Mark is a pathological liar. He also
takes great pains to paint himself as a victim in several areas of his
life. His morse-code-as-torture, morse-code-as-unconstitutional views
are what we most often see here.

Rick, I'm hurt and offended by Mark's morals but I manage to deal with
it. If others are hurt or offended by reading my views, I suppose
they'll be able to handle it. I totally reject the idea that we can
state our views concerning amateur radio licensing but are supposed to
restrict our views on anything else. The age of "political correctness"
must end.

In either case, he's still lying. And if he "thought himself gay" BEFORE
having been "commissioned", he was DEFINITELY in violation of the UCMJ.

HOW can the Army "teach" him to be "bisexual" ((visions of K4YZ rolling

resource on the base.

The Church of Wicca is a registered, legal, church in all 50
states--one MORE than the Church of God, btw.

Simply because it doesn't represent your particular religious
beliefs does't make it any less valid. Even the Church of Satan is a
recognized religious organization.

You're free to skoff at those religions, but their adherents are
equally free to skoff at your own belief structure. Christianity
(assuming you are Christian) has no "lock" on truth--all religions have
equal value and should receive the same level of respect.

Fair enough.

However, since the majority of the people in the world do NOT
consider radio a two-way medium, it is just as valid to state that
because you are an amateur radio operator, your own lifestyle is
"abnormal" by the same standard you apply to Mark.

Here we agree.

There is plenty to fault Mark over with respect to his honesty,
his communications skills (did I actually use "communications skills" in
the same sentence as Mark's name???), etc., without having to attack him
on religious or lifestyle issues which may inadvertently offend other
members of the newsgroup who do NOT behave in the way he does.

>His morse-code-as-torture, morse-code-as-unconstitutional views
>are what we most often see here.

Actually his indecipherable ravings on issues are what we see
most--his code views are merely a part of that.

I happen to support the no-code arguments myself--but at least I
do so from the perspective of looking at the issue rather than one of
personal benefit as does Mark.

I don't support political correctness, Dave, but I do feel that
drawing a persons personal religious beliefs or sexual practices into a
discussion in order to discredit him is a bit unfair. If Mark were
arguing that he should have special treatment because he is bisexual or
because he is a Pagan, then I would definitely agree that it was
appropriate, but those are issues that have not been raised by him here,
and that have nothing to do with his statements in this group.

I could just as easily state that _I_ am "hurt and offended" by
your own morals--I'm a Tantric Buddhist, which is by definition a pagan
religion, and I have a number of very close friends who are gay and/or
wiccans. None of them demonstrates Mark's lack of honesty or integrity,
and they would be as offended by his behavior here as you are. There are
certainly bound to be gay hams in this group, and probably at least some
other pagan hams--if not actual wiccans (it really isn't that uncommon a
religion in the US anymore--on the Internet according to studies there
the ONLY religion that has more adherents is Christianity--online there
are more wiccans than Jews and Moslems combined!). Why offend those
individuals to strike back at someone who so clearly leaves himself open
to attack in a wide range of ways?

It's not PC, Dave. Just courtesy to your fellow hams.

Actually Mike, that is not quite accurate. Military personnel
discharged for homosexiality would receive a general discharge (under
honorable conditions), not a dishonorable. To receive a dishonorable,
there would have to be other, more serious, circumstances involved (such
as a crime).

Not true, Steve.

Military personnel have been discharged for committing adultery
(behavior unbecoming an officer - UCMJ). And military personnel have
been discharged for having sex with a subordinate (a violation of UCMJ).

Military personnel have been discharged for sexual harrassment (a
violation of UCMJ). And military personnel have been discharged for
sexual crimes (such as sexual assault, rape, etc.).

And, finally, military personnel have been discharged for lying when
questioned about sexial misconduct (lying is a violation of UMCJ).

However, there has never been a case where a member of the military
has been discharged solely for having heterosexual, consensual, sex.

This is where some of that "history" about Mark comes into play, Rick.

Mark took off on this "Walter Mitty-ish" crusade to try and squelch me by
insinuating that he was a field grade officer in the US Army. When I followed
up his assertion with a call to DPMA and blew the whistle on his lie, he
changed it to "just" a lieutenant, and that he was drafted and unable to
"resign".

That's when another poster here (not me) did a DejaNews research on him
and the other stuff came to light.

One lie has since snowballed into another, and now, except to admit he was
just clowning around and drop the rediculous assertions, he has no way out
except to perpetuate the lies and hope we get lost in the maelstrom of
confusion.

It was Mark that started the assertions of his "prefessional military
career" and his inability to resign. And it's Mark who continues to this very
day to assert that he's on or has been on "active duty".

No one, myself included give a Rat's Kazoo how he prays, who he prays to,
or in what position he likes his sodomy...but as long as he keeps making the
rediculous lies about being an Armed Forces officer all-the-while flaunting
this particular lifestyle, we will keep feeding it back to him.

He deserves it.

Not True! Many have been discharged for having consensual heterosexual
sex, especially with other members of the military.

As much as I hate to admit it, within the limits of the caveats he
provided, he's correct. Example: even a consenting adult female (Officer) has
consenting sex with an adult male (enlisted), and neither is not married, then
it is fraternizing.

Usually, if it is different branches of the service, it is not a problem.
It's when they are within the same branch that a problem occurs.

I agree.

But do the other members of the group who may share his
orientation or religion, but not his dishonesty? Remember, for every one
poster to the average newsgroup there are at least 500 readers--and not
all will be US Citizens with the set of religious and moral values that
are accepted by the majority of Americans. Many gay men and lesbians
serve openly in the armed forces of other nations, and many adherents to
pagan faiths are hams (as a Tantric Buddhist, I qualify as a "pagan"
myself--although as a Buddhist negative references to paganism don't
offend me as they would a wiccan or a traditionalist). Comments meant to
respond to Mark's dishonest posts may simultaneously be making other
members of the group feel uncomfortable or unwelcome among us, something
I doubt you or most other regular posters here would want to do.

It's easy to nail Mark on his dishonesty and his inane writing
without having to nail him on issues that could affect others.

I stand corrected.

Most of the people I know who refer to themselves as pagan are
either traditionalist or wiccan. I'm familiar with both, and with
neo-pagans, but Neo-Classical Pagan is a new term to me. It would seem
to imply that you are part of a new old tradition, which would (of
course) be a contradiction in terms. While I'm not a follower of the
Western pagan traditions personally (I'm a Tantric Buddhist), because
both my grandmothers were traditionalists (one in the New Forest
tradition the other in the Black Forest tradition) and because I've have
a number of close friends who are neo-pagan or wiccan (i.e., Gavin
Frost, Isaac Bonewitts, Charmaigne Dey, etc.) I'd be interested in
knowing what tradition the term applies to.

Depends on the circumstances, Dwight.

If they were discharged for _being_ homosexual, you are correct.

But if they were discharged for engaging in homosexual conduct,
they would receive a DD. Homosexual behavior is a crime under the
UCMJ--as are a surprising number of heterosexual activities that are
routinely engaged in by military personnel.

I believe you may be wrong on that one Dwight.

I don't have the case name at hand (and will try to get it for
you) but I _do_ remember a Spec 4 being discharged for engaging in oral
sex with a woman he picked up in a bar. As you know oral sex falls under
the sodomy statutes in the UCMJ and is considered a crime even if
committed by a married couple.

If they do, I don't care.

The ONLY point to be made on this issue is that Mark claims, over and
over, that he is (a) a "drafted" officer and that (b) he can't resign.

In either case, his openly "alternative" lifestyle is means for immediate
discharge from the Armed Forces...EVEN the Army!

>Many gay men and lesbians serve openly in the armed forces of other

nations,...(snip)<

Yes, they do. But those are not AMERICAN Armed Forces, and they can make
thier own rules. In the United States, Mark's "lifestyle" is grounds for
seperation.

That he asserts he can't get a discharge or be allowed to resign is a lie.
Period.

>Comments meant to respond to Mark's dishonest posts may simultaneously be

something I doubt you or most other regular posters here would want to do.<

To all those who shall see these, presents Greetings:

Any comment made herein by myself now or in the past relative to
"alternative" lifestyles by The Liar Mark Morgan, has been ONLY to underscore
the fact that his assertions that he is (a) an Officer of the Armed Forces and
(b) cannot obtain a seperation from same are untruthful.

As pointed out before, Mark's openly "alternative" preferences are
well-known grounds for dismissal, and his assertions to the contrary are lies.

If you yourself prefer any give sexual proclivity, be my guest, as long as
you are not doing it in the Armed Forces...or at least aren't stupid enough to
make it public domain.

>It's easy to nail Mark on his dishonesty and his inane writing without having

Lt. Kelly Flynn was having sex with the husband of an enlisted female
on the base (fraternization is a violation of UCMJ). When the enlisted
female soldier complained, Lt. Flynn's commander questioned Flynn about
it and she origionally claimed no sexual encounter occured. Her
commander counseled her about the reasons such a relationship was not
permitted and the subject was dropped.

The enlisted female's commander questioned the husband during a
counselling session, where he admitted that an encounter did occur (and
was still occurring). This was reported to Flynn's commander.

Lt. Flynn's commander recalled Flynn, advised her to end the
situation, and gave her a written reprimand. Lt. Flynn admitted to the
relationship and agreed to end the it.

At a later date, upon hearing that the relationship was not ended, the
commander gave Lt. Flynn a written order to end the relationship. The
written order also advised her of the consequences if she failed to do
so. Flynn signed the written order.

After the end of this meeting, the commander asked CID to investigate
the matter further. Specifically, CID was to establish if the
relationship was ended or, if it had not, to gather evidence to prove
that the relationship continued.

When it was firmly established that the relationship had not ended,
Flynn was removed from her duties to face disciplinary action. It was
decided that even though Lt. Flynn's actions was clearly fraternization
(a violation of UCMJ), lying and disobeying orders were the stronger charges.

Lt. Flynn decided to resign rather than face charges of behavior
unbecoming an officer (lying) and disobeying the direct orders of a
superior officer.

While the above is an overview of the actual events (certainly other
things happened in all of this), I want to make one thing very clear.
Lt. Flynn was fully aware, both before and during the events, that her
actions were a violation of military policy. She was also aware of the
possible consequencies. In spite of this, she did it anyway and
therefore has nobody to blame but herself.

Flynn was not discharged for having heterosexual, consensual, sex.
She resigned rather than face charges for lying and disobeying orders.

You seem to confused about the regulations concerning sexual
relationships within the military. Perhaps you don't understand why the
regulations concerning fraternization, for example, exist.

The purpose of these regulations is to prevent superiors, who have
great power over the personnel under them, from abusing that power to
gain sexual favors.

The enlisted female, for example, is at a great disadvantage if she
were to refuse the advances of a superior officer. Therefore, she may
feel very pressured to give in to his advances, even if she would prefer
not to.

This not only applies to the enlisted soldier. It applies to any
person who may be subjected to pressure due to the power entrusted to a
superior. This could mean a junior officer versus a senior officer, a
junior enlisted person versus a senior enlisted person, the spouse of
any of these, and any other person who is at a disadvantage when
negotiating sexual relationships.

To prevent this, the military decided to eliminate these types of
relationships entirely. An officer, or any other member of the
military, is free to have relationships with individuals of the same
rank. They are also free to have relationships with individuals outside
their area of responsibility (e.g. outside the military). But they may
not have relationships with anyone under their authority.

These regulations are very clear, and each senior member of the
military is aware of these regulations. NCO's learn these regulations
during the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC), which is
required prior to promotion to Sergeant. Officers learn these
regulations during their training.

If a person were descharged for fraternization, perhaps you would see
that as just consensual heterosexual sex with another member of the
military. However, the military member fully understands the
regulation, the purpose of the regulation, that they violated the
regulation, and that they were discharged for a ligitimate reason.

I'd like to see more on this, Rick. Perhaps such a case does exist
(anything is possible), but I'm sure other issues were involved.

I know all this is getting off the subject of this newsgroup, but this
is far more interesting than the endless code debate.

I'll dig up the cite and specifics for you, Dwight, and post
them here.

I tend to agree--although it _would_ be nice if we could somehow
manage to have the variety of policy discussions here concerning issues
that _don't_ deal with code testing that we have concerning issues that
_don't_ deal with ham radio! :-)

Steve, take your point back.If the heterosexual, consensual sex is outside the
context of your own marriage, then they certainly have prosecuted for solely that
reason.

Kelley Flynn. There have been others.

Sort of. It was an extra-marital affair with an enlisted man in her unit.
She would have been prosecuted regardless of the "order" not to do it.

HOGWASH! You did the same for "Cutie Boy" who never once intimated that he had
anything to do with the military service. You are simply a hater.
