But he's never lied about a PhD!


What was that last day of your last job, Steve?


When was the last day you didn't lie about having a PhD?

Yet another nicely worded personal *opinion* but no one has yet
to say *why* Baxter should lose his license.


Then you're not paying attention, or intentionally being obtuse. Glen Baxter
does not deserve to continue operating the way he's BEEN operating for so long.
It's taken the FCC this long to get him to clean up some of his act, and that
delay was directly a result of Baxter's obfuscation and avoidance of his
responsibilities (the phrase from Tony's response regarding the Bermuda
'emergency' silliness, says it best... 'terminological inexactitudes')... and
he damn well knows it.
The simple facts are that while he may have started using a better timer, moved
frequencies a bit, and *seemingly* stopped overtly haranguing other legal
amateur operators, he's still being cited for violations of FCC Amateur
regulations, and these are violations he's been willfully flaunting for YEARS,
not something new.
If he's not decent, kind, or just plain smart enough, to follow accepted (and
legally binding) regulations, then he doesn't earn the right to be an amateur.
We've seen his casual disregard for the basic rights and priveledges afforded
to all amateurs, and it's a long-standing disregard at that. One that causes
harmful interference, degeneration and tension among the amateur community, and
even (witness the Bermuda nonsense) the international goodwill of the world
amateur community.
When a noisome troublemaker starts getting tanked at a bar, and becomes
unsavory and ill-tempered, and starts illogically, wildly threatening innocent,
decent patrons who only asked that he quiet down or move to another table, you
don't ask him to sit and wait for years on end. You toss him out on his sorry
butt not only to rid yourself of him, but as an example to other would-be
troublemakers to stay the hell out of good people's forums.
When a bad driver keeps violating road rules, his license to drive is stripped,
at least until he can whip himself into decent shape. You don't let him keep
driving.
Do yourself a favor, do a search on this guy and these issues, read everything
you can, and if you STILL can't see why this guy is just plain illegal and
damaging for amateur radio, then I'll leave you to your OWN opinion.
He's not the only one, to be sure, and the FCC and Riley Hollingsworth seem to
be taking a longer time than many had hoped to clean up a lot of the other
messes on the bands that have festered for decades, but Baxter's one of the
loudest and most well-known. He does not deserve our sympathy, our support or
our understanding. In being disrespectful to so many people and offices, he has
lost all respect, and lost the right to that respect which others who EARN
their respect by being decent, ethical and LEGAL, have come to cherish and
enjoy. There's no room for weeds in the garden.
