It's sort of like the ford and chevy argument.

I suppose it might seem that way, if you were a clueless moron. - Implying
that the Internet and Radio were two interchangeable aspects of the amateur
radio hobby and that there really is no difference between ham radio and
commercial, non-ham stuff. - So why not just get on the Internet and call it
Ham Radio?

Why is there so much hostility towards IRLP?

It's because there are so many hams who are too intelligent to go for Gene's
alleged "reasoning" in this matter.

They see the damage it does to the hobby and unlike Gene, they care.
