It isn't supposed to be but unfortunately devolves into that all too often.

Its intended purpose is to debate issues such as Morse code testing,
proposed regulation changes, etc. Or even topics was to what is or is not
an information bulletin.

However, there are some childish people who must immediately resort to lies
and/or vulgarity if challenged rather than being able to debate. When
people are in the flame war mode, there are quite a few who choose to stay
out of the conversations until people settle down again.

It would be best if you loitered for a while and formed your own
opinions.

No. This is a place for amateurs to reasonably discuss amateur policy,
particularly the Morse Code testing issue.

Welcome.

CW (Love your screen name),

Here are quick thumbnails of a few of the most-regular players:

First, the ying and yang of rrap, both vainglorious and pompous, but of
opposite polarity --- Steve (K4YZ) and Len (not licensed). A perfectly
matched push-pull circuit with 180-degree out of phase connections resulting
in zero-useful-output.

The mindless gadfly, Brian (N0IMD). Like one of those annoying bugs who
slips in on a hot summer night and disturbs your sleep. After awhile he
becomes part of the background noise and you don't even notice him until
suddenly he lands on your nose just as you were dozing off.

Then the self important but also completely innefective trio of Jim (N2EY),
Dee (N8UZE), and Hansl (K0HB). These three are all well meaning dufus's who
need to rent a clue about the real world.

Resident potty face, Tod (N9OGL). 37-years old, going on 8. Learned a
bunch of naughty words during recess, and seems afraid of the bogey man, so
he makes a lot of loud incoherent noise to scare away the ghost under the
bed.

Everyone else you can pretty much ignore. Now that I think of it, you can
ignore the ones listed above too.

At least everyone you named has the grapes to identify themselves.

Everyone here knows who I am, except the deranged refugees from
rra.misc. You'll forgive me if I don't introduce myself to them.
