I used to give my callsign and e-mail address on the NG's and had terrible
grief as a result. I never flamed anyone and was as diplomatic as possible if I had a different view or disagreed with a poster. 95% of my posts were to help people. I answered several hundred over a 5 year period. Being a ham for over 20 years and retired, it gave me a sense of satisfaction as an Elmer. Then came the spam, false signups, hate mail, false posts in my name, and phone calls. An idiot even cracked my password to QRZ and modified my Bio in a most hideous way. And then the bozos here expect us to give them our callsigns after they have been trolling and arguing with us first. Another person here who is female was getting several obscene phone calls a week when someone used QRZ to find her address, then the phone book for the number. She had to bring in the authorities to get it stopped. So that is why so many regular NG posters are anon. Giving your callsign and true e-mail address DOES NOTHING TO ENHANCE CREDIBILITY Besides, there is no way to know that those that are giving call signs are not just assuming that identity and it is really someone else's call sign or name. There is no way to verify that ANYONE here is using their real name or call, nor does it matter. No one should be concerned with anything other than the statements being made. |
