I do humbly apologise, I am clearly in desperate need of a good period of
solitary monastic study alone with my Oxford dictionary. I appear to have
completely misunderstood the meaning of such words as mocking, belittling or
taxonomy.

Any M3'ers listening... please be advised that:

You are all CB Fools
You are a Mongolian horde of non-technical turnip-brains
You are the death of real ham radio
You are comparable to needleworkers and football supporters

Gareth G4SDW, in the best traditions of gentlemanly amateur radio conduct,
has spoken. Of course, he is not mocking you, nor belittling you. How could
you ever think such a thing? On the contrary, he is welcoming and
encouraging you enthusiastic newcomers into the world of amateur radio.

If you want to be thought of as a CBer, then make personal
comments as you do below.

I do not have to, and neither do I, concede what you suggest. The
M3/CB Fools' Licence is judged by the entry standard, which
is no technical standard whatsoever. The few examples that
you _CLAIM_ do not change the essence of the M3/CB Licensee
class which is a Mongolian horde of non-technical turnip-brains,
who are the death of _REAL_ Ham Radio.

I am not making any sweeping generalisations, I am quoting facts.

Indeed, if you wish to be respected as a debating respondent, then
you would do well to avoid the rather silly and childish asides
that you are increasingly using, childish asides that are usually the
mark of a failing debater.

You would seem to be describing a CBers-Masquerading-As-
-Radio-Hams and not actually _REAL_ Radio Hams.

This comment shows you're not really thinking logically about all this,
even
if it is your genuinely held opinion. By your statement you're saying a
full
license holder can still be a Masquerading CB'er, because he isn't very
involved technically. Conversely you would then have to concede that a
technically able M3 was a real ham not a CB'er, regardless of his
license
class. I think you need to decide whether your sweeping generalisations
are
to define criteria based on license class, or on technical ability.

Hans, thankyou for clarifying the situation so succinctly. I just knew
I must have got the wrong end of the stick over Gareths posts, both
here and on uk.radio.amateur :-)
