Why is all this kicking off again after all this time?

Toys out of pram again Steve?

Aww… shame.

For your information, I have removed allegations of [...] from the above posting.

I still stand by those allegations; but wish to clarify that the central claim is that of your harassment of me and others in the industry.

I have clearly and openly indicated the edits I have made, and have removed the bare minimum required. You have a copy of the original blog posting, I note from one of the comments, so you’ll be able to check to your own satisfaction the edits I’ve made.

Note that mails to me from you are still automatically deleted; and I will not enter into correspondence. A copy of this (minus the allegations referred to) will be posted as a comment on the blog posting.

In norway, the DAB antagonist lobby group IKT Norway, use Steve Green as an “expert witness” about DAB radio. It’s simply hilarious reading seing the official documents written by Steve Green Of course, DAB listenings is increasing because IKT Norway realised what kind of person they relied on. Which is even funnier – Steve Green actually promoted DAB radio in Norway:)

Anyone?

Worth a go if the arm wrestle plan fails?

Re attack vs persuade, I personally think I do both anyway, because I use persuasive arguments when it comes to technology, and I attack over things like bias, lying and generally doing things that are against the interests of the public.

I also say that I “attack”, but if you read articles on my website, I would say that translates to “very critical” – I don’t rant and rave in articles on my website (the DAB industry and their hangers on claim I do, but that’s just their typically dishonest spin).

The parts that apply to Steve are below.
Does anyone know any of his relatives or his GP?

Criteria for detention
The so-called “treatability test” regarding long-term powers of detention is replaced by a new “appropriate treatment” test. This means that patients cannot be detained unless professionals can guarantee the availability of medical treatment, which includes psychological intervention, which is appropriate to each case.

Professional roles
The approved social worker role is being replaced by the approved mental health practitioner role, which could potentially be filled by anyone with experience in supporting people with mental health problems, such as nurses, occupational therapists and psychologists. In addition, responsible medical officers no longer have to be medical practitioners. This role is being replaced by the responsible clinician role, which could be filled by social workers or any of the other professions listed above. However, medical recommendations for detentions under sections 2 and 3 of the 1983 MHA will still have to be made by two ‘registered medical practitioners’.

Nearest relatives
Patients have the right to apply for the removal of their nominated nearest relative if they feel that person is unsuitable. Civil partners are added to the list of eligible relatives, affording them the same status as husband and wife. (Under the 1983 MHA, nearest relatives and approved social workers can apply for compulsory admission to hospital for a patient who is not involved in criminal proceedings.)

If I win, DAB should be switched off/over to DAB+, and the BBC must stick to its remit of promoting the digital platforms impartially, and Cridland must attend a PLA (pathological liars anonymous) meeting, and a video of him saying “My name is James, and I am a pathological liar” must be uploaded to YouTube. And I’ll have Big Mac Meal with a chocolate thickshake.

If I lose, which obviously wouldn’t happen, I’m not allowed to use the letters d, a and b in consecutive order until digital switchover has completed, and I have to listen to DAB for 10 minutes (any more would be dangerous to myself and others).
