I believe the points made in the Fedup postings are pretty good. It
seems like everytime
anyone objects to anything they are immediately labeled as "spreading
hate and
prejudice."

Truth is, no endeavor of betterment has ever NOT started with self
critique.

I do agree with the writer that hams have become hot house orchids in
this
respect.

Why should anyone not agreeing with you need to find a new hobby? What
gives you more rights?

Finally, for crying out loud, can using contrived words like "arse."
Say
what you mean and mean what you say. If you mean "ass," say ass.

The only thing that truly "ails" the amateur radio service is those
who are committed to spreading messages of hate and prejudice against
those who choose a path for getting their license that said spreaders
don't happen to like.

If you're no longer happy with the HOBBY, then find another one.
Don't let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.
