I've been a ham for only a month now, and been using these groups for
about 6 weeks.
I really can't stand some of the things that go on here.
Has anybody ever noticed that 8 out of 10 threads on this group (and
many other amateur radio groups) end in a flame war?
It's really shocking how people can start an argument over nothing
which can escalate to vicious strings of insults complete with
profanity, sexual references and terms such as "CBplusser" and
"Knuckle-Dragger".

Greg if you want to see how all this began just spend some time in

Google
and you canget an educaion. It sure didn't start by old timers

belittling
newcomers. In fact it was and IS the exact reverse. Not all newcomers,

by
any means, just those on this board who decided to do it, and persist to
this day.


DICK would like to present himself as a "reasonable" ham. DICK is
primary in this newgroup for inciting namecalling, preferring to call
names rather than have a legitimate discussion. See -every- post he's
made in the last week.


Strange, Brian. I am a nickle extra, and am not very good at CW, and I
get along just fine with Dick.

Which just goes to show: it's not lack of license class, it's lack of class
in all.
