Len:

I finally figured out why they truly hate you here!

No one hates him but everyone gets tired of his derogatory remarks and
antiquated stories.

Antiquated Stories and Deragatory Remarks:

1. Hiram goes to Washington in 1918 to save ham radio's future!

2. Hams "pioneer SW [HF] bands" after 1923.

3. Saipan is "saved" by hams loading up a fence!

4. AM broadcasting is begun in 1906 (by a carbon mike in the
antenna lead to "modulate" it...the technique for all
subsequent AM broadcasters!).

5. "CW gets through when nothing else will!" (from 1930s)

6. "Putz! "Technician!" etc. (from loose-cannon Robeson)


You have made a statement that cw is ridiculous and protested by never
getting an amateur license--now there are tens of thousands or even
hundreds of thousands who have joined you--I see them everyday--they
refuse to get a license because of the code...

I cannot believe that you have polled tens of thousands or hundreds of
thousands about getting a license. Most of those people don't even know
amateur radio exists let alone its requiements.

YOU have "polled all those people" to PROVE they "don't even know
amateur radio exists?" We didn't know that! :-)

Most of us think it is silly to cut off your nose to spite your face. And
most of us know it is far more effective to attempt changes from the inside
rather than remaining on the outside and looking in.

Tsk, tsk. Amateur radio is only ONE "window" to the EM spectrum.
A rather small one at that. I've been looking through "windows"
(plural), lots of them, bigger ones, for the last half century.
From the "inside." :-)

Might I suggest you WASH your little "window?" It would make it
far easier for others to see into that small room called ham
radio. Then again, you might NOT want "outsiders" to look in. :-)

... that is why they hate you, you were a man before your time my friend!
And, your protest is being voiced by a strong majority today.

Again no one hates him but simply will not tolerate his derogatory comments.
The moment that someone disagrees with him, he starts in on that approach
and continues in that vein despite the fact that some of us have persisted
in remaining polite and not calling him names.

All that "politeness" and "non" name-calling by all of you "us"
is archived in Google. :-)

"Horrid!" isn't it? :-) [your word, not mine...]

Some of us finally have refused to feed the troll and do not respond to his
posts.

Ah! "Politeness!" Those you do not like are called "trolls!"

:-) Hypocrisy is your handmaiden...

Tsk, for someone who "does not respond," there seems a rather
strong, lengthy, and "antiquated" RESPONSE! :-)
