Amateur radio isn't the military. It isn't a workplace. It isn't a guild

Which means that the methods and standards of the military, the workplace, the
guild/craft/union or professional associations don't apply to amateur radio.

It's a HOBBY.

It's an avocation. Meaning it's done for its own sake.

But however someone chooses to describe it, does the fact that amateur radio
isn't the military, a workplace, a guild or craft or union or association of
professionals mean that there is no need for amateur radio to have values, and
standards? That seems to be your main message here.

You seem to be telling us that amateurs should not have any values, standards
or practices except those necessary to prevent amateurs from interfering with
users of other radio services. And you denigrate and insult anyone who
disagrees with you.

We've seen *your* values, standards and practices in action here, Len. They
leave a lot to be desired.
