If you want to be thought of as a CBer, then make personal
comments as you do below.

I do not have to, and neither do I, concede what you suggest. The
M3/CB Fools' Licence is judged by the entry standard, which
is no technical standard whatsoever. The few examples that
you _CLAIM_ do not change the essence of the M3/CB Licensee
class which is a Mongolian horde of non-technical turnip-brains,
who are the death of _REAL_ Ham Radio.

I am not making any sweeping generalisations, I am quoting facts.

Indeed, if you wish to be respected as a debating respondent, then
you would do well to avoid the rather silly and childish asides
that you are increasingly using, childish asides that are usually the
mark of a failing debater.

You would seem to be describing a CBers-Masquerading-As-
-Radio-Hams and not actually _REAL_ Radio Hams.

This comment shows you're not really thinking logically about all this,
even
if it is your genuinely held opinion. By your statement you're saying a
full
license holder can still be a Masquerading CB'er, because he isn't very
involved technically. Conversely you would then have to concede that a
technically able M3 was a real ham not a CB'er, regardless of his license
class. I think you need to decide whether your sweeping generalisations
are
to define criteria based on license class, or on technical ability.
