Yes, you have.



Okay, how about in the "typical" child rearing age group. How old are you
now? 49? How many young, impressionable, children do you have running
around your house? Larry is not exactly a young spring chicken either.



How do you know how old somebody's
grandchildren or children are, Dwight?



Speculation based on typical child birth trends in this country.



How old are these "old men"?



Lets see. You're about 49. Larry has to be pushing about 50. I'm 50. Who
else?


Sorry you consider that old, Dwight!



I simply say it's inappropriate for
ham radio, that's all.

Do you think it's appropriate?



Kim's callsign or the word alone?



Kim's callsign is only as vulgar as you,
the person hearing it, makes it.

Have I *ever* said it was vulgar?



And I didn't say you said it was vulgar.



So your values have to be everyone
else's?



Don't be silly. I never said that either.

You know, Dwight, I'm not so sure. I don't recall Jim ever making an
issue of the issue, except for ommitting the callsign. He's not doing
anything except omitting what he finds inappropriate. He isn't calling
Kim names, and he Is engaging her in posts here in the group.

And as pointed out, the callsign was indeed chosen so that some people
WOULD find it inappropriate.


What would *you* have him do? I'm a little confused about what some
people want out of this thread. Jim HAS to use Kim's callsign? Jim has
to apologize to Kim for finding her callsign inappropriate? Jim has to
have his posts approved for content before posting?

What do you think of her reasoning behind getting that callsign? I
don't care one way or the other, aside from an acceptance of it, and for
discussion of the callsign to go away, even though that would probably
be dissapointing to the owner, who has stated that the callsign was
designed to get attention, and which people are giving attention to the
callsign in what must be an immensely gratifying amount to her.
