How is my opinion wrong?

Becasue there's not been ONE SINGLE INSTANCE when ARES or RACES
has EVER refused or been unable to fulfill it's promised duties for
any
reason YOU have suggested...Nor has there ever been ANY reason
they've
refused, period.

Kindly show where I've said they've refused anything, you idiot.

I've asked you SEVERAL TIMES now to show me JUST ONE example
of
some situation where ARES was asked to respond to a situation but
couldn't due to any of the criteria YOU cited.

Phil provided his situation.

Phil's situation has been covered. HE provided that.

He indicated that there was a deficit in the # of volunteers.

YOU claimed that "unlicensed devices play a major role" in
"emergency comms". I've asked your to substantiate THAT claim
with
some
sort of valid reference, but you;ve balked at that one, too.

Practically all first responders use cell phones. Cell phones are
often how a person is initially notified that they are in an
emergency
period. The military relies on them quite heavily.

Cellphones are NOT unlicensed devices. YOU do not have to have a
licnese for it, but the entire cellphone net operates under various
FCC
licenses. See "Common Carrier".

Also, when you first made your assertion, I asked you if you
meant
Part 15, Part 95, etc, and you said "Yes, of course". So...Still
waiting.

Wait away.

You claim, I ask you to validate the claim. You refuse. No
facts
= invalid claim.

If a fact isn't presented then the opinion is wrong? You da man!

"I believe that ARES will not be able to respond to future
emergencies due to the greying demographic" is an opinion.

"ARES is dependent upon graying old men who can't respond to
emergencies" is an assertion.

Are those your opinions?

It really is THAT simple.

Steve, K4YZ

It really is quite simple to see that you claim people's opinions
are
wrong. Then you start the "liar, liar" routine. It's all
archived.
Again and again.

And you still have not come completely clean.

You made "statements of fact" that were nothing BUT opinion.

You're the one jumping to conclusions, Steve. You expect everything
that anyone says to be fact verified by Saint Hiram.

You continue to refuse to validate your assertions unless you
are
NOW stating that all they were WAS opinion, and nothing BUT opinion.

And?

However it's taken you MONTHS to get out from under that rock,
which leads me to believe that this is your only perceived avenuse of
escape from your own silly mistakes and unsubstantiated rantings.

Steve, K4YZ

Steve, you're so full yourself. You make yourself into fool every time
you start jumping up and down demanding proof and facts anytime
something you don't like comes up. Too bad no one is taking you
seriously, especially me. You make up stuff and keep making up stuff
so you don't have to apologize for being such an ass.
