He makes threats all the time. Read it for yourself!
Don't let the door hit ya Chuck.

The original post just doesn't compute. The FCC has no authority over
anything other than what happens on the air, so a threat posted on QRZ
would be out of their jurisdiction. That would be an area for law
enforcement to handle. Same thing for Usenet posts.

If he made threats on the air, that would be an entirely different
matter ...

As I understand it, though, the "death threats" go towards
Chuck's character, and that is something that the EB and Riely look at
in determining whether someone can remain a licensed ham.
If Chuck handles it the right way and explains to FCC that it
was a joke and that the is no way that Chuck would carry out the
threats allegedly made, I'm hoping that the matter would blow over.
I'd hate to see one mistake chase an seemingly good person off
the air. Chuck doesn't seem to be the Jack Gerritson type who thinks
that the law and FCC rules are irrelevant.
