Re: [AMRadio] Recent insulting threads
Brian, Flare ups of any kind do occur. Fortunately they do not happen with great frequency. I agree that this one DID get out of control. That was why I posted the one that I did to try and get folks to lighten up. Sorry if it ruffled feathers.

[AMRadio] Recent insulting threads
This recent thread about some folks that are overweight, obese, or whatever, is really VERY insulting and degrading. A few pop up jokes can be taken lightly, however this "thing" that some of you have said is really getting down to scummy insults. What the hell is wrong here people? Is it the elections? Winter? Sidebanders? What? There are people that are "bad apples" in every walk of life, in various forms of physical shape, disabled, or something else, but I know a lot of people that are overweight, or have some (and some serious) sort of condition that some of you don't consider "proper", that are very good folk. They are my friends, and some have seen these recent threads, and thank God, some have not. This list is for discussion of AM operation in the Amateur Radio service. The topics on this list are to be dedicated to that subject. You can go somewhere else to vent your feelings about the appearance of people. We all hear enough insults, QRM, and bashing on the radio. There is no place for it here. Clean up this crap on this list or get off. -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
