I would dearly like to seem such a rule in the UK Jerry. Sadly, we tend to
be too tolerant of
such people and they even gather in groups to support each other.

I see one of the long standing problem characters in the US amateur radio
scene has finally lost his licence (or license given it is a US one!).

So you would be in favour of those with a repeatedly-admitted history of
pirating with 19 sets, FTDX560 and FT101E being denied a licence?

What about those who are so reckless as to the effect that their behaviour
endangers their fellow men such that they pick up a speeding conviction?

What, again, of those who commit offences by sending grossly offensive
messages
ove r the Internet about someone's wife being a sheep in the bed, or that a
widely-respected professional must be employed as a lavatory cleaner?

What of those who use the Internet to send messages to the committee of
their local radio club, messages that are riddled with the F-word?

Over to you, Brian, M3OSN, Old Chum?
