No. They are self-defined exceptional people who can do things in
their imagination that ordinary civilians cannot or will not.

I've observed no one here defining himself in that manner. What we're
left with is YOU defining someone in that manner.

Some radio amateurs are so self-defined as to be superior to any and
all radio professionals.

I've observed no one here defining himself in that manner. What we have
is just YOU defining someone in that manner.

Some radio amateurs are - by public display - arrogant control freaks
who like to imagine they prey on ordinary civilians.

You seem to have a problem with anyone who has achieved something you
have not. You've surely memorized that N2EY of your likely actions by
now.
All hams are simply ordinary citizens who've passed an amateur radio
license exam. You aren't one of them.

So far you are batting 3 for 3. Well done. Not rare.

I submit that you don't know one end of a bat (baseball-type or the
mammal) from the other.
