Unbeknown to me, this thread had already been cross-posted to
the CB groups, and I would have removed that cross-posting
had I been aware of it.

In respect of that, I apologise if my remarks have caused
any offence to the CB community. However, I do not
withdraw my remarks - they are my opinion as to the
relative standing of Radio Hams and of CB Radio
enthusiasts where the playing-field is that of Radio
Hams.

However, having said that, the material quoted below
serves, I think, to illustrate quite well the
intellectual standing of CB Radio enthusiasts
upon which I have commented.....

In the realms of talking specifically about radio apology accepted but
everyone swears at some time. Amateurs included. While i dont condone it i
can understand it. If you upset someone enough you "will" get this sort of
response. Im a CB'er by the way.

Why, so that you can abuse people behind their back? What would be the point
of replying to someone, but cutting out the group that the OP uses?

In respect of that, I apologise if my remarks have caused

I would bet that, if this was cross-posted to *real" tech groups, many qualified
engineers would also be offended by your suggestion that you are a "higher"
level of person.

However, I do not withdraw my
remarks - they are my opinion as to the relative
standing of Radio Hams and of CB Radio
enthusiasts where the playing-field is that of Radio
Hams.

Playing field? So this is nothing more than a game to you, see who can cause the
most offence.

Your problem is that you are blaming the wrong people.
Maybe this is all just an excuse, a cover for your hatred of CB, nothing to do with
Amateur rules. Otherwise you would direct your comments and anger at those
making the changes.

However, having said that, the material quoted below
serves, I think, to illustrate quite well the
intellectual standing of CB Radio enthusiasts

You write a message which anyone of at least average intelligence will know will offend
certain groups of people, then pretend to be shocked when some respond angrily. You
may be a Ham, but that doesn't mean you can act.

Before putting the angry response down to "CB mentality", take a look through the Google
archives at all the serious abuse sent to newsgroups by some licensed Amateurs.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Look little motherf*cker, there are even professors on CB.
And there are clearly complete idiots like you that accidently got
an amateur radio license on the amateur bands.

*Even if you get an amateur license, you are STILL an amateur.*

Actually I worked in professional broadcasting and designed
professional
transmitters.

So how many cb transmittes you designed?

You just convinced me NOT to listen on amateur frequencies.
F*cking idiot moron.

Do you know, in all my years of CB radio use ive never actually heard anyone
talk like that on the CB. Ive been on since 1979 (not continuously, i do let
go the mic occasionally ;o) The only people who talk like that are people
who have no real idea of CB and are just taking the Mick. Am i wrong?? do
people talk like that on the CB where you live?? Let us know where these
people are so we can avoid them ....

Hold about a bit matey boy... Just because someone uses a CB doesnt make
them a lower class person or less intellectual than an Amateur radio user.
They may have brains far exceeding yours on several topics, just not on
radio. Just because you know a bit about radio doesnt make you a higher
class of person... IT JUST MEANS YOU KNOW ABOUT RADIO'S..... now try
learning common sense, respect for ones fellow man and remember.. Amateur
Radio.. Just like CB.. is JUST A HOBBY...
I love the bit though where you say "it is neither my wish to insult them"
but you manage to do it anyhow...
10-4 over and out .. or in your case QRT..

CBers have the right to besport their habits in the
appropriate place as do all the lower classes, which
in this context is rrcb (and urrcb).

Poly Parrot has forgotten he has owned a CB and a license (still does, I
expect), ignore him.. having been arrested he is a prime example of what
amateur radio has descended to.

Hi Hully,
Unfortunately there are a few like him on the Amateur band. Its a shame
really. Its meant to be a hobby after all and his attitude will put many
prospective new Amateurs off as they will see it as an unfriendly place. Not
good for the cause..

Graham

Another CB-er and potential F-class adherent.
