Know why he won't? He kept alluding to the fact that he was going to, or
kept inspiring others to do it. So, I wrote. I wrote knowing that Riley
would more than likely be the kind of person who probably doesn't appreciate
the humor in my callsign, but also knowing that he upholds to the principles
of a democracy. And, he did exactly that. He does not like my callsign.
But, he doesn't believe it is for the FCC to govern such things.

Kim:

That is quite correct, it's nice to see you finally get something right. The
FCC should not be in the business of controlling which call signs any ham
can or cannot have. That is, and always should be, entirely up to the good
taste and judgment of the individual ham. In your case, you have
demonstrated neither good taste nor good judgment. That's why you're
doing the carpet dance.

Throughout my adult life, I've been told that "perception is reality."
While I would personally make some allowances for poor choices based
on the immature judgment of younger people, Kim is certainly of an
age and station in life where such poor judgment is much less likely
to be excused. She is the only one who can make this controversy
go away. Should she choose not to, she leaves herself open to the
criticism of those of us who *are* offended and *do* object to her
choice
of a Vanity call sign.


Once again, if the callsign is so offensive, it is the FCC to blame. Any
vanity callsign or even if it even was a sequentially assigned that is
deemed offensive is their fault. I should have the right to request ANY
callsign that is listed as "available" provided I have the initial right
to
do so by licensure requirements/benefits. If the list is including some of
what you refer to as offensive, that is your problem, and the FCC's, not
the
rest of us.

It's not offensive, in any way.

It *is* offensive, Kim -- in virtually EVERY way.

Larry just doesn't like a woman who can
think for herself,

That's the only kind of woman I *do* like, Kim. However, you have not
demonstrated much of what I'd call "thinking" ability in your choice of a call
sign.

ergo he doesn't like anything about me.

The pity of this whole thing is, Kim, that there just may be some things
about you that I do like. However, I can't get past the call sign, or your
"in your face" attitude toward it.

That's all it is. He has no problem at all with my callsign.

Earth to Kim, come in Kim! Yes, Kimmie dear, I DO have a problem with
your callsign!

How could anyone as
offensive, crude, rude and belligerent as him have a problem with this
callsign?

Well, you're obviously out of arguments, since the name calling is
being dragged out again. You lose!
