bullied by jerks
people shout with their linears to overpower the honest nice people
mostly talk about stupid stuff instead of the intended purpose of the
medium

The biggest difference is that CB didn't have self-appointed jerks like
you trying to "get people thrown out".

but I am trying to think of differences between RRS and the old lousy
CB days that were so famous because the FCC gave up trying to bring
sanity and order to it. it just seems that RRS is the modern version
of the worst of old CB !

No, it's just that self appointed jerk wannabe "moderators" like you
bring out the worst in people.

what do you think ?

I think you should change your name and attitude, come back and try
again.

It was worse. There were drunks running around cutting people's antenna
feeds. Fights in parking lots. Gunplay on the highways.

There was an incident in Portland during the height of the CB craze that
involved cutting coax and murder.. Someone got really irritated at someone
who was a total and unrelenting asshole and decided to go to his house and
cut his coax. Deciding once he got there to confront the person, he banged
on the door and promptly had a double barrelled shotgun unloaded on him
through the closed door..

The proper way is to put a pin in the coax to short it out.

During the craze, people used to steal CBs from cars.

When the craze was over, a guy put his linear in the front seat of his car. He
parked at a shopping mall and left the window open so someone would take the
unwanted linear.

When he came back the car was gone, but the linear was laying in the middle of
the parking space.

A good replay of an old musician's joke:

An accordian player leaves his accordian in his car on a summer day,
with the doors unlocked. He goes into a restaurant, and midway through
the meal realizes he forgot to lock his car. He runs back outside, but
too late . . . there are already three more accordians in his car.

None of which is the same as contacting the FCC and trying to get your
license revoked, which is the equivalent of contacting someone's ISP
trying to get their account cancelled.

Someone could just as easily cut your phone line/cable line and shoot
you in a parking lot.
