WOW Mark,

And you're not even a Real ham.

There is this pithy little thing I found in the ARRL Handbook:

The Amateur's Code
------------------

The Radio Amateur is

CONSIDERATE...never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen
the pleasure of others.

LOYAL.........offers loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs,
local clubs, and the American Radio Relay League, through
which Amateur Radio in the United States is represented
nationally and internationally.

PROGRESSIVE...with knowledge abreast of science, a well-built and
efficient station and operation above reproach.

FRIENDLY......slow and patient operating when requested; friendly advice
and counsel to the beginner; kindly assistance, cooperation
and consideration for the interests of others.
These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit.

BALANCED......radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed
to family, job, school or community.

PATRIOTIC.....station and skill always ready for service to country and community.

--The original Amateur's Code was written by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA, in 1928.

Kind of old, and flavored a lot like the US was during the time, but
never-the-less, it has some important lessons in behavior and compassion
that seem to be lacking in your vision for the hobby.
