Will the great Radio and Flame Wars Ever end?

Some people dont even know who started what. Some people just take

sides for the heck of it.
From 14.313 to the Hal Turner message board to Nim Busters and from

people like Vonbluvens and Bill White( www.otherthrow.com ) to Herb,

KV4FZ and WA9KJI. Groups like the B.A.R.F and the NSM (National

Solicialist Movement) have risen and fallen in the chaos.

But why do these little fueds keep going for? Is it for some greater

good, or is it to satisfy someones ego? I just dont understand.

First, it started back in the late 70's or 80's in the form of Radio

Wars on the 20 and 75 meter ham bands. (Read the KV4FZ Story for more

Background info) It included all sorts of people, who have come and

gone. Then The Great Liberty Net came to the scene, and it had its

supporters and detractors as well. Glenn Baxter, K1MAN had his 15

minutes of fame too...

All that changed around late 1998 or so, when a "New Sherriff" came to

town in the form of FCC's Riely Hollingsworth. He quickly went to

work, sending out restet letters and giving people like 6 month

suspensions and so forth. At that time, around the year 2000, people

began to take the "Radio War" to the internet. Newsgroups were spammed


as people began to take thier fueds online. Message boards like "Nim

Busters" were hangouts for this sort of trash. People like KV4FZ, who

were unjustly villfied for many years, were replaced by people like

Internet talk show host Hal Turner. Radio clubs like the Better Amatuer


Radio Federation have faded away, only to be replaced by Nim Busters

and other related groups.

Will it ever end?

And training wheel no code Lardass was never a participant, just a
whiner on the internet sidelines.
