Actually, it most certainly is the business
of any radio amateur who is properly concerned

response to Kim when he raised the issue of
the possible negative reaction of a parent/
grandparent/aunt/uncle who may be considering
this hobby for a young child in their life.
Kim's callsign most certainly could cause such
a person to question the judgment, if not the
personal integrity and morality, of radio
amateurs in general, through this one bad
example. (snip)


Who's really seeking the lowest common denominator, Larry?


GRIN Larry *is* the lowest common denominator here, Dwight...LOL Know
that saying, "can't see the forest for the trees?"


You seem to be
saying that nothing should be mentioned on Ham Radio that might offend
or
confuse a young child. If we accept that position, all we'd be allowed
to
talk about is Barney and the Sesame Street characters.


I get the oddest vision in my mind when I think of Larry and his incessant
whining about such puritanical thoughts. Know the vision? You know the
one: where a spanking is more the pleasure of the person touching the butt
than anything else? "I'm doing this for your own good" kind of thinking?


Regardless, most adults today know what a "tit" is and are not
offended
or
confused by the simple mention of it.


We are dealing here, with someone who is not--no where near--most adults.


If a child is, the parent should
consider a discussion with them about human sexuality.


Man, you got that right.


If they're too young
for that discussion, they're probably too young to be talking with
adults
on
the radio or most other places.


More like if they're too young for that discussion, they probably wouldn't
be able to decipher W5TIT into the word tit.


If you're offended by Kim's callsign, you need to grow up. The adults
of
this world are not going to censor their discussions simply to cater to
your
unusually delicate sensitivities. And, to be honest with you, I wouldn't
want to see Ham Radio go in that direction.

Growing up won't be done any time soon. We all know that. Let him have
his
fun--that's all this is to him. I can guarantee you that Larry doesn't
mind
my callsign one bit. He just likes having the topic to throw around once
in
a while. I don't mind it at all; in fact, I may be saving the poor wretch
from complete and awesome boredom!

I think most of us on here are adults Kim. We have all heard and all know
what a TIT is. I doubt that most of us think your choice of W5TIT for a
callsigh is offensive. I think most of us believe it is a pathetic attempt
for attention.

I personally believe you are a closet exhibitionist.

Thank you for your time Twit.
