because that has nothing to do with ham radio what so ever and in fact helps 
go against ham radio because of the way it's promoted. It should be 100% 
illegal for an internet chat room, to "require" a ham radio license and the 
insinuation that they are anything to do with ham radio puts them over the 
line, in my book, of fraud. Anyone who'd support such a thing obviously 
doesn't care at all about ham radio and what it's all about and shouldn't 
have a license, especially for those incredibly shameful lazy hams that will 
actually use that in place of HF privileges, and potentially the work to get 
a license to go on HF because the fact remains, it's nothing more than an 
internet chat room that fraudulently claims to be ham radio, simulated or 
not.
