For as long as you are prepared to illustrate so graphically
the difference between a CBer, an M3/CB Fools' Licensee, a
CBer-Masquerading-As-A-Radio-Ham and a _REAL_ Radio
Ham with his gentlemanly traditions, I am prepared to
watch you bemusedly from the sidelines and to chastise
you for your ridiculous outbursts.

It is important that we as Radio Hams make a stand for
civilised behaviour and decency against the vile CBer,
no matter how he might have slipped into our midst.

Don't you realise how silly and ridiculous you make yourself
look, by indulging in what are essentially very infantile
abusive tirades in an international forum that is broadcast to
the whole world?

However, if you wish to be perceived as a Childish Broadcaster (CBer)
then just carry on as you are with your Childish Broadcasting (CB).

You, coming as you do from a background as a ship's radio
"officer", really ought to know better.
Indeed, it is difficult to see, in the light of your
well-demonstrated infantile disposition, how you could
ever have been the export sales manager for a well-
respected company such as Wood & Douglas.

Shame on you. You should know better. What on Earth would Alan
Wood G4EEE think of the bad publicity you are visiting on
his company?

Grow up, Mike Gathergood!

Stupid boy.

Perhaps you should ask yourself the same question?

There's no reason to ask myself the same question.

My position here is that I'm making a stand for
decency and civilised behaviour against the
gratuitous and offensive onslaught of a few
CBers who really ought to know better.

If more stood up for decency, things would improve.
Who was it who quotes, "'For evil to triumph it is only
necessary for good men to do nothing'"?

Oohh! - it is someone by the name of , "Mike Clayton" -
anybody that you know?

I find it strange that you seem to have no dispute with
those who originate the most offensive of personal
insults and yet you criticise those who defend themselves
and stand up for decency.

I hardly think that the changes to the way that newcomers enter the
hobby could be described as evil :-)

Anyway, in the spirit of the season let me wish you and yours a very
Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year

The only "hobby" around is CB Radio.

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit.

Newcomers to Ham Radio are those who
are naturally interested in technicalia and
who drive themselves forward. Such people
will have no interest in a licence issued
under the gangrenous degeneration that is
the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme.

To have introduced such a scheme whose
sole purpose is to maintain the profit
levels of a CB (Sorry, "seedy"!) book
publisher was evil indeed.

well, an *international* forum, broadcasting to the *whole
