You people are no better than racists. Do you wear your KKK sheets
while listening to skywave, and then celebrate by going-out and
beating-up a gay man until he's a bloody mess?

You close-minded, hateful *******s disgust me.

Thank you for your moral support. I have grown so used to being
attacked and ridiculed that it no longer bothers me. I regularly
receive death threats from members of the shortwave newsgroup.

Why not post them? I'd like to see them.


Generally speaking, the demographic here is that of a generation born
when ignorance and intolerance were the rule and any one different
from them are demonized. Exhibiting no capacity for growth, they pass
along their cultural wasteland to each succeeding generation because,
unfortunately, they breed.

It sounds like you're demonizing everyone from 'their generation'.
That's not very tolerant of you.


It is no mystery why the radio hobby is dying a slow death. It is
dominated by dinosaurs that make anyone who doesn't share their
particular viewpoints and prejudices unwelcome.

Hmm. It sounds like you're saying that anyone with the set of
attitudes illustrated by most of the posters here is unwelcome in this
group.


Instead of encouraging my efforts to bring folks into the shortwave
hobby they use their time and energy to ridicule me.

I've stopped counting the number of people I've encouraged to learn
more about the shortwave hobby by reading this newsgroup only to be
told that they are turned off by what they've seen here.
And that is the saddest part of all.

Then why do you tell them to come here? There are plenty of other SW
groups out there. You could even start your own on Yahoo. As group
owner you could crush anyone who disagrees with you, thereby insuring
an atmosphere of tolerance.

Which is illegal. You should report it to (1) Googlegroups (there's a
"report it" link on every message) (2) the person's ISP, and (3) the
police of both your hometown and the poster's local State Attorney
General or Police.

I've noticed. Their brains are so old, they've turned into marble.
They simply lack the ability to accept new ideas, and worse, they're
not even willing to try. It's like what I said to one guy on this
group: "I'll bet you were a lot more open-minded in your 20s.....
before you grew old and set in your ways."



Well, I'm from Generation X, and we've learned to "live and let
live". I'm a Republican which is supposedly a "close minded" party,
but I've always supported the rights of the gay community to live
however they want to live. Including marriage. (Who says it has to
be only man-woman; why not man-man or woman-woman? I don't see any
harm in that.) As Thomas Jefferson said, "Whether my neighbor
believes in one god or many gods, matters not to me. It harms neither
my person, my property, nor my rights. I will allow my neighbor to
live as he chooses."

Jefferson was speaking of religious freedom, but the same principle
applies to ALL things as far as I'm concerned.

That's what freedom means. To be able to follow your own "pursuit of
happiness" whatever way works best for you.

Well said.

I've noticed that "flaw" in many different groups. I belonged to an
airplane club where all the members did was say, "That's not right" or
"The officers suck" or make new people feel unwelcome.

So I quit and went somewhere else.



I've stopped counting the number of people I've encouraged to learn
more about the shortwave hobby by reading this newsgroup only to be
told that they are turned off by what they've seen here.
And that is the saddest part of all.

Yep!

Take care.

In order to do that, you need to get out of your chair and walk to the
phone, and your 250-pound girth won't even let you stand up.
