There is no animosity expressed by urging those of a technical
bent to join us; neither is there any animosity in standing apart

Where there has been animosity, it has been on the part of those
who make up the groups criticised.

Hi Trevor

Well, I was surprised by the animosity. If I were to regularly meet
that within on air conversations I would be quite bothered I think. I
remembered the hobby as being very gentlemanly and was therefore qute
suprised. I think I may just lurk about an some of the HF / VHF bands
and see what actually happens before deciding to get my iron out again.


I'm seeing my old mate G4GCO tonight for a few beers, no doubt we will
discuss this as well.

Thanks for the comments

It would seem to be certain that you have taken a critique
of those Class Bers who took out a licence under the
gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools'
Licence scheme to be a critique of all Class Bers, which it was not.

I suggest that you re-rea the FAQ, when you will actually find
yourself to be praised and not criticised.

Thanks to everyone who commented

It seems that maybe this is not the general view of class B after all.
I'm going to lurk about on HF/VHF for a while listening and see how it
goes down, maybe I'll get my iron out then and do some stuff.

Thanks for the advice all

SHUT IT EVANS

The personal and insulting remarks below are very much those
that are typical of CBers - Childish Broadcasters - the very
people whom the FAQ criticises. Such remarks do not
fit in the gentlemanly traditions of _REAL_ Ham Radio.

I am not familiar with the Yankland licensing schemes.

Is "W5EGO" perhaps some for of CB licence - the abusive
personal style quoted below would seem to suggest so.

There is no attempt to demean anybody by a taxonomy of those
who are _REAL_ Radio Hams and those who are CBers of one
sort or another.

Don't let him put you off anything. Jump in; the water's fine.

EVANS IS YOUR BLOODY RECORD STUCK, OR ARE YOUR BRAINCELLS LOOPING DUE
TO YOUR DRUG ABUSE?

There is no troll in expressing a serious concern about what
is happening in Radio Hammery and in seeking that the
technical and gentlemanly traditions be maintained.

If you think it is a troll, then perhaps you are one
of the CBers-Masquerading-As-A-Radio-Ham that
the FAQ warns against?

With a G8L call I would have expected you to recognise an obvious troll
by now. You either want to get back to the hobby or you don't, if this
puts you off then frankly perhaps its not for you!

You are the very model of a newsgroup personality.
You intersperse stupidity with tedious banality.
Psudonyms you've plenty of; both genuine and ghosted, too,
On all the countless newsgroups that your drivel is cross-posted to.
Our bandwidth you will fritter with your whining and your snivelling,
And we're the ones who pay the bills, downloading all your drivelling.
Your enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming us
For cracking your head open after you've been rudely flaming us.
You hate to lose an argument (by now you should be used to it).
You wouldn't know a valid point if you were introduced to it.
Your learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia,
Designed to fan your ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that you vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery,
Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
You say you're frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity,

The gibberings of one who's on the limits of his sanity.

With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan :-)

I rather think they'd like it, it certainly brings on a few chuckles.
