My delete key is being used too much. Can we get back to Ham topics?

Huh? When did I ever do that? I don't see any correlation between not
wanting a moderated list and throwing away respect for individuals.

I've only seen one post on this list that I thought some folks might = think
needed moderating, and that doesn't constitute a need for list = moderation
in
my opinion. If someone is sending offensive posts, don't read that =
person's
posts! It's as simple as that. =20
You do not know if the post is offensive unless you read it.=20
I don't want my posts to the list delayed
until a moderator can look at them, just because some folks can't handle =
bad
language or flames.
The posts do not have to be held up. When someone is using bad language = or
harassing someone else, the list moderator can just tell em to knock = it
off. Either the guilty party knocks it off, or gets put on moderate = until
he/she can conduct him or herself like a responsible adult.=20
I moderate an email list with 640 members from all over the world. By =
moderate, I do not mean I have to OK every post. I mean, all posts are =
automatically posted to the List as they are on this List. If someone = gets
out of hand, I tell em to stop. If they don=E2=80=99t, I put them = on
moderate until they can act civilized and treat other list members = with
respect.=20
We are all ham radio operators. We are all in the hobby because we enjoy =
the hobby. We are a brotherhood. We don=E2=80=99t need to be publically =
insulting and harassing other ham radio operators.=20
What you want to do privately is your business. But when it is public, =
freedom stops where it impinges on other peoples freedom. This goes for =
freedom of expression or any other kind of freedom.=20
One thing that's really starting to bug me about this country is that we
seem to think that when something goes wrong, we need to pass a law or =
turn
the problem over to some sort of government intervention. I guess = that's
why I've become a Libertarian.

Hi all:=3D20
I just read Howard's posting regarding someone to grow up, suck it up = =3D
and be thankful you got a radio and antennas and such.=3D20
I haven't been really following the thread because, quite frankly, I =3D
wasn't interested in the constant postings regarding the iPhone and =3D
reader, or accessible transceivers and the like. Simply I really didn't =
=3D
have anything to add on the subject of the US tower and so on.=3D20
I think though its time that the list owner get it together and start = =3D
moderating this list or turn it over to an individual or group who can. =
=3D
We don't need people offending each other on this list and we also don't =
=3D
need the constant non ham radio related subject which seems to be =3D
drowning the radio subject of this list. I posted some help to the Yahoo =
=3D
FT-102 user group when I 1ST got my rig and an individual in Hungry, =3D
who's well known in DX circles bashed the Hell out of me because I was = =3D
explaining to another fellow lister my vision loss and the tools I had = =3D
at my disposal to use the 102 and what I could see and what I couldn't. =
=3D
Well this well known DXer more or less proclaimed that I was someone, A =
=3D
using my blindness as a crutch and B, I was someone who had just walked =
=3D
into a lawn mowing store looking to buy the shoes off the salesmen's =3D
feet because they wouldn't sell me shoes. LOL=3D20
That idiot was band from the list pronto. So I think its high time that =
=3D
someone or someones, start doing the same and get control of this list. =
=3D
I'm not saying that all non HR related activity be band because =3D
technology and situations can be used as guide lines to different =3D
aspects in our lives but it does need to be lidded somewhat.=3D20
Just my thoughts, hope to catch some of you on the air this =
weekend.=3D20
