o, where's the evidence of all this incredibly criminal activity that
requires
more than a handful of hams to pull off?

that's another thing you got wrong. I NEVER said that it required more than a
handful of hams to pull off. As a matter of fact, I said just the opposite.
I said that it was only a few hams who did it.

although there were also some non-hams involved.

*I* never said you said it. I'm saying that it *DOES* take more than a few hams
to pull off the numerous things you claim happened, whether you believe it or
not. And I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I think to cry foul but not
pursue the criminals is bad for you and me. Posting vague hints at the location
of the perpetrators online is hardly the way to go about busting people who are
doing some pretty terrible things.
But if you don't really care about the license thing (which, we agree, is not
the biggest problem among the crimes committed) then it's none of my business
if you can't/dont want to actually help others by exposing criminals.
You came on here talking about some pretty bad stuff that happened to you, a
number of posts on the same topic, and I found it to be important and wanted to
know more, or at least encourage you to gather the right evidence and see if
you couldn't help others with your story and put away these guys who flaunt the
law.
But you don't seem to be able to come up with any good reason to do anything
more than state the claim, then explain why you couldn't do anything about it
then, or now, and how trying to seek justice would hurt innocent people.
It's all up to you, I just know that if I had experienced the same things you
claim to have experienced, I would have done whatever it took to get them out
of there. Not better than you, just a different view of things, I guess.
I live in an area where a number of people who are victimized by similar crimes
as you have stated, either stop pursuing justice when it gets the littlest bit
tricky, or never bother at all, with the attitude that 'Well, I made my
complaint and if they don't get back to me, they're all a good-ol-boy network
anyway and there's no such thing as 'fair' for the little guy'... and I don't
want to get innocent people in trouble"...
and it's a lame attitude to have, one which I think is bad for the community.
It weakens the very systems we rely on to serve us.
But whatever. I'm sincerely sorry that this stuff happened to you, and wouldn't
wish it on anyone else. I just want to see the jerks get theirs for abusing
their priveledge of serving you and me.

Popular consensus dictates that you *start* saying it.

Popular consensus can kiss my ass.
"Dictates"... amazing.

Could you have followed up with a complaint or something to the FCC?


that's what I thought at first. However, I wasn't able to for several reasons.

It's my understanding that the FCC can't do anything about it becaue that
wasn't an on-air violation. It would be a civil matter.

You understood that as well as the questions on the test. No wonder
you failed...

plus those particular hams were going through my mail so that anything I tried
to mail out that they didn't like wouldn't get mailed while I thought that it
was mailed. I had only found out much later that they were doing that.

I think I get it now....Do the FBI, CIA, DEA, and the NAACP also
follow you around the neighborhood when you drive to the store?

and they had also tapped my phone in a way so that when I called some place,
they were the ones that recieved the call and pretended to be the place I was
calling, when they wanted to, so that my calls never got through to any actual
places that I was calling when they didn't want them to.

I was the one that really tapped your phone. And I did it directly
from Houston TX via my own personal "CRAPCOM II" phone manipulating
satellite in high geosynchronous orbit.


Plus the paid off the local judges here to rule in their favor.

Of course. This is an old mob tactic.

I know that's not supposed to happen with judges (conflict of interest), but as
I found out the hard waty, in real life it does hapen.

Right....

I would call all three of those "criminal activities"

Why not? What the heck...It's only a fish tale..

although those particular hams were also guilty of committing much more serious
criminal activity than that.

Let me guess... You caught them cornholing each other in a tent at
field day...


And no, I wasn't being paranoid about it. I didn't even find out about it until
much later. And no, I'm not paranoid about it. I'm not worried about them.

Well, until the MIB and black choppers arrive...

They were just a few , I want to call them jerks, stupid, or idiots, but they
weren't and aren't any of those. They were very smart and intelligent to be
able to pull off all they were able to pull off. They were also very smart and
intelligent at making "catch 22" situations for other people to be caught in.

Of course. They don't give out ham tickets to just any ole dumbass off
the street.

so calling them just a few morons won't work, either, since they definitely
were not morons.

Sporons? Clorons? Florons?

They were just a few very intelligent people who were involved in committing
serious crimes and experts at getting away with it.

Kinda like Mission Impossible with a radio twist huh?

sort of like the fictional "Lionel Luthor" on the tv series "Smallville". I
think that's the best way to describe them.

Naw, on second though, sounds kind of like "Peyton Place" to me... MK
