That kind of thing could further reflect on your character. I think Kim's complaint is valid. Jim obviously has some issue with her callsign. Without saying why, he refuses to use her callsign as he has done with everyone else on his list. That callsign was issued by the FCC and, if Jim has an issue with that, he should take it up with the FCC. Regardless, until the FCC says otherwise, that callsign is legitimate and should be treated as such by all within the Ham radio community - just as any ham operator, including Jim, would expect his or her own callsign to be treated. Nice, Dwight. Very touchy-feely and politically correct. I'm certain that Jim has an issue with Kim's call. Quite a number of us have issues with Kim's call. Even Riley Hollingsworth has issues with Kim's call. For you to attempt the equation of Kim's tacky choice of vanity call with Jim's non-vanity call is ludicrous. You'll note that I used "further reflect on your character". The touching up of another's post is one issue. The choice of calls is another. Dave K8MN I don't think you can really separate them in this instance. We all know why Jim doesn't want to use her call, but at the same time I doubt if any of us would be pleased to appear on a list where everyone else had their call listed but we didn't. The obvious implication is that the person with no call is not a ham, even though we know that's not what Jim meant. You might not choose to have a call like Kim's, but can you honestly say you wouldn't correct someone's post if they did this to you? I might not have chosen a call like Kim's? I flat out didn't choose a call like Kim's. I can honestly say that I would not change the post of another to make it appear that the original poster had written something different than what was originally posted. As for the lack of an accompanying comment, have you considered that she might not be able to think of anything that wouldn't actually be worse than no comment? I have no doubt at all that anything Kim would have written would have been worse than no comment. If she can't think of anything good to say, she may be being polite by saying nothing. I've not known Kim to be bound by politeness. Dave K8MN |
