Default Is this _REALLY_ the public face that we want to present for Ham Radio?

By which I mean the tirades of personal insults
and intolerance that emanate within these NG?

Wha happened to the international traditions
of gentlemanliness?

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit for those suitably
motivated. Let us remember that in our dealings
within these NG.

This newsgroup in particular appears to attract the dregs of society
unlike some of the other ham oriented newsgroups. Why this is I have no
idea, but it certainly doesn't promote a very good public image of
amateur radio.

If you buggered off, the 'gentlemanly quotient' on this newsgroup would
immediately increase by 84.3%.

The signal to noise ratio would also improve by a similar percentage.

As far as the USA goes, what you see here and hear on
ham radio is the culmination of 40 years of deliberate
intentional dumbing down of ham radio, by the ARRL and
the culture of corruption in the government regulatory
agency (FCC).

Lost forever and last seen in American ham radio of the
1950s and early 60s.

Not possible when all a mentally ill person has to do is
memorize 20 questions and buy a radio which requires him
to simply plug in the power cord and begin spewing his
insanity to a worldwide audience.

Wrong tense. WAS a technical pursuit . . .

Ham radio and the ideals you mention is dead. Killed by
the RSCB in favour of the new hobby radio, now
designated "Multiband CB"

With the average age of an M3 being about 12 - and with an
IQ to match - any notions about hobby radio being a "technical
pursuit" are simply silly.

One must assume, of course, that you are not addressing the likes of the
potty-mouthed fifty going on fifteen year old types that lurk herein.
Wiseman will take issue with that comparison.
