KG4RRN Legal Announcement

[KG4RRN]

Due to over-achiving, control freaks, and retired hams who claim to know it all,:mad: on several ham radio reflectors I subscribe to; I wish to make the following announcement.
I will not be told to control my sentences, grammer, terminology, or any other item I wish to speak of on any reflector I am subscribed to.
The moderator duties are well understood by me, I am a moderator of two groups and I do not restain the right of anyone to freedom of speech. If someone who is a ham radio operator like me who doesn't like me personally, please send me an email at my call at arrl.net. to tell me why I am offending you.
As of the last time I checked, this is a free country, I have not harrassed anyone, threatened anyone, or conducted spamming, on any website, or reflector, I subscribe to, or am a member of. Others have done so against me and this is illegal, and grounds for a lawsuit.
As far as I am aware, the President of the United States has not revoked the Amendments to the Constitution, and specifically the one which guarantees every citizen of this country the right to express themselves in written or verbal means as reasonable in a public forum without constraint, and I will not be further constrained to my right of free speech.
Rumors and innuendo have no place in this hobby/service and I will not stand for it.
I have retained a lawyer, and if this situation continues, he is one phone call away, and then he will be submitting paperwork and the proof on my behalf, to the appropriate offenders' residential jurisdicition Sherriffs' dept., so that they can explain their actions in a court of law.The charging documents will be for harrassment, violation of my right under the first amendment to the Constitution, Spamming without consent/permission, Defamation of my reputation and character.The time for the juvenile behavior is over. Apparently some are slow to grow up.
The guaranteed legal action will include names of corporations, and/or government entities these hams work for, or naming their property, if they allow this type of illegal activity to emminate from said agencies or corporations/locations of residence.
Both violations of Federal and state law against me, and generally the law, are occurring here folks.
It is time for all of the mentioned activities to S-T-O-P.
Let this be your only warning. You know who you are--- and I will not give you any further warnings. I will not go quietly into the night.

I'm not quite sure that I fully understand your drift here. Are you upset with someone?

[ad4mg]

When you joined this site, you were instructed to read the terms of service. They pretty much null and void everything you have offered in your post above.

None of the rights you speak of are protected on private property. QRZ is privately owned, and therefore, private property. You are granted posting privileges because you agreed to those terms of service when you registered. You really should speak to your legal adviser about this. I'm sure he/she will set the record straight for you.

I have no affiliation with QRZ other than being a member. I'm sharing this with you because all of this cannot possibly lead to any good for anyone.

If you have a beef with one or more members here, drop a PM or email to one of the administrators or moderators about the problem. I think you will find them most receptive to helping you find a solution to any problems. I may not agree with these guys and gals all the time, but none have ever refused any reasonable request for assistance, or advice to clarify a matter.

Overall, this site is well run, and your accusations hint that there are legal matters involved. I think, in this regard, they would be more than eager to help.

I hope whatever the problem is gets resolved.

KG4RNN,

From the tone of your rant, it seems that you think that your First Amendment rights mean no one can limit your "freedom" to speak your mind at any time, at any place, and on any subject. You might try reading the First Amendment as it does not say anything like that. Last time I looked it says (in part), "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech."

The courts have repeatedly said that the rights and privileges of the Constitution are NOT absolute rights and that the rights need to be balanced against one another and against public safety and welfare. For example, laws making it illegal to make a false police report are legal. Same goes for libel, slander, threats to do bodily harm, to name just a few laws that abridge freedom of speech.

And of course, forums such as QRZ can limit your freedom of speech all they want. So can your employer or any other private entity. These are not operated by Congress and therefore your First Amendment rights do not apply.

If you wish to make that phone call to your attorney as I have criticized you, be my guest.

[WA4TM]

:D :D Dang, I think someone pissed him off!! :D :D

[w2amr]

If you spent this much time studying for your general...............

[PA5COR]

Since you are an moderator on other forum(s) why are you needed there?
To delete or change posts others make that didn't make the rules of the board(s) you moderate?
Also then YOU are in breach of the first amendment you are so proud off..

As stated above you agreed to the rules here and that can and will limit your right of free speech.

As admin on another board i see it is sometimes difficult to get good moderators, i see more boards have that problem it seems...

Brilliantly you claim the right of free speech and deny it to others....

But what do i know as foreighner...;)

Luke, Great post, you are dead on right. I had to do a little research to see if this was a joke or not. Looks like this character is not kidding. A post like that is like a neon sign saying "I dare you".

One of the side affects of public free speech, is to expect opposing speech, stuff that may not be so comfortable. Thats why I find it so strange for folks who scream free speech, are also intolerant of others expressions, as illustrated from his website, http://www.geocities.com/kg4rrn/ , where he complains about being squelched, then follows with this line "If others try to denounce this, they too may face legal action". See what I mean.

Luke, I know you are a moderator/admin of a fellow ham site, www.hamisland.net, so you may be familiar to this kind of behavior, and if so, has it gone farther than idle threats?

For every free speech, there is opposing free speech. If you can't take it, don't spout it. know what I mean?

Just for the record, I reserve my right to express opposing free speech rights within the guideline set forth by the owners of this private forum whom has given me the privilege to participate.

General note, in my opinion, I would not write to strangers, you never know if such gesture of kindness will be thrown back at you.

Hey Paul! Fortunately, we've had only a couple of empty threats there. Those issuing the threats failed to act on them.

I suppose at some point in time, someone will seek relief from some perceived injustice done them in the form of a lawsuit against an administrator and/or moderator, in addition to the site owner. It's almost a given that it will eventually happen, especially given the litigious nature of our society.

I hoped that the message I offered him would save him a few pennies in legal fees. I have no idea as to what the "bee in his bonnet" is. I poked around a little here, and noticed nothing unusual.

I see the thread is getting more interesting as it matures. I had a feeling this one would become a real hum-dinger before it ended.

I wonder if popcorn would be appropriate at this time? :)

Who has been pounding their fist about suppression of their free speech rights being violated, is a moderator on another site and such? May frequent a certain 20m freq?

I smell a troll and the callsign of the individual in question may not be the person who it belongs to trying to post on here.

I could be way off on this, but something doesn't sound right about this rant. Explains why a lot of us have the ??? floating above our heads reading it.

[KD8HMO]

The nice thing about the 1st amendment and the internet is that if you arent happy with the way a forum is run, you are free to start your own forum. If you can afford two or three packs of cigarettes, you can afford to register a domain name and start a forum as I just did with www.NoCodeHams.Net.

.....You're telling us you have your rights and will hire an attourney to protect them. All well and good, but we have those same rights--so what does it come down to? A pi$$ing contest to see who will follow up on threats? Sorry, but there are other ways to conduct oneself on sites such as this--more mature ways.

Try using the ignore feature. Bypass the reply you don't like. Ignore the poster. See, there are other ways. On the radio you turn the big dial.

I think Will Rogers said it best: Yes, you have the right to swing your fist. BUT, that right ends where my nose begins.

[wa8rti]

Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes said something to the effect that freedom of speech did not include the right to cry fire in a crowded theater. It never has been an absolute right.

[n9yb]

As far as I am aware, the President of the United States has not revoked the Amendments to the Constitution, and specifically the one which guarantees every citizen of this country the right to express themselves in written or verbal means as reasonable in a public forum without constraint, and I will not be further constrained to my right of free speech.



Lordy lordy...

The Constitution and its Amendments are a contract between the Federal Government and the governed not between one citizen and a private entity (QRZ.com).

QRZ.com is not a public forum. As noted, users are subject to the terms of service.

It seems to me a high percentage of these threats to sue people on these forums come from Virginia. Is McLean near or downwind from Mechanicsville? It could be something in the air or water.

O.K. Luke,baby, I'm gonna try something here.

I think your announcment is a big joke, coming from you. You behave in exactly the manner you accuse unnamed others of. You and a few of your brain dead zombies followed me around from forum to forum and harrased and intimidated me enough so i felt an actual threat against my life, and you are so unpreceptive of that fact that i place you just one brain cell smarter than your cohorts in that felony piece of action and the fact you were assured you were not in violation of the laws lesked thru etween the lines enough that it stained my screen.

You did not consol with an atty. An atty would not allow you to use his professional name attached to that piece of work in the front of this threat. I find it amusing you actually belive others would belive you actually did. You just got a bit creative with your prose, is all. Your actual imagination shines thru. Go back and reread your legal threat. Maybe it would be better if you waited a week, then reread it. You are a total idiot. And to think you actually belive yourself smarter than anyone here.

I really do not care if I am banned for this. I do not like you. I despise you. I hold you in contempt. Now to hold up a mirror to you.

Alprazolam, xanax, niravam, diazepam, valium, klonopin.
Any of these may solve the problem. :D

Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes said something to the effect that freedom of speech did not include the right to cry fire in a crowded theater.

One should not yell "Theater!" in a crowded firehouse, either.

[aa5te]

Make that RRN.

The edit feature dosn't seem to be working.

That's because you'd be blocking your own free speech!

[KD6NIG]

I'm wondering how many reflectors have terminated his account for his free use of language.

The way I'm reading it, hes been banned and hes mad he has been.

[WA3KYY]

Alprazolam, xanax, niravam, diazepam, valium, klonopin.
Any of these may solve the problem. :D

Except the lastest medical studies show they all fail to work except in the most severly ill.

What? Oh, never mind .......

[KB1KIX]

OMG, what a riot.

Take a few days of and come back to this???

To the original poster - shut your pie hole, yep, I told you so.

...I will not be told to control my sentences, grammer, terminology, or any other item I wish to speak of on any reflector I am subscribed to.
The moderator duties are well understood by me, I am a moderator of two groups and I do not restain the right of anyone to freedom of speech...

Please translate to English so I can understand what you are trying to write. The word grammer is not in the dictionary. Nor does it show any such word as restain.

I started out in the hobby after September 11th 2001,obtaining my callsign in February 2002, and my goals are to provide emergency communications, and handle traffic on nets, expand my frequency privilages, and to own a free Gigaparts radio one day,after winning their drawing.(is that too much?)

restain is something you do to a piece of wood.

Ah but they give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Does this mean they are working, perhaps not.
However it is sure fun, hahahahah.

Rumors and innuendo have no place in this hobby/service and I will not stand for it.


Innuendo?

Isn't that an Italian suppository???

I think it is Rabbit/Crepe tartare.

Disclaimer: I called my attorney before posting to get advise but my lawyer jokes offended him so I didn't get any ditrectives. I am posting at my own risk.

[WA7OET]

I have retained a lawyer, and if this situation continues, he is one phone call away, and then he will be submitting paperwork and the proof on my behalf, to the appropriate offenders' residential jurisdicition Sherriffs' dept., so that they can explain their actions in a court of law.The charging documents will be for harrassment, violation of my right under the first amendment to the Constitution, Spamming without consent/permission, Defamation of my reputation and character.The time for the juvenile behavior is over. Apparently some are slow to grow up.


I rarely post here and I dont know what the problem is but the tragedy is that this is what my beloved hobby has come down to...

It also reminds me why I left 6 meters some 30 yrs ago... the handful of locals who were stuck on 50.110 and constantly argued amongst themselves which presented a nasty representation of what 6 meters was in that area... now its the internet...

If all this drama makes your life worthwhile then I guess you are entitled to do it but you are only giving this site a black eye and will drive people away from it... Your "retainer" to the "lawyer" probably would have been much better spent buying a k2 or k3 kit... at least you would have gotten some satisfaction from actually doing something that you could be proud of in this hobby.

[K1CJS]

No matter what endeavor there is, there are ALWAYS some who will be involved who is involved to either push their own agenda or to try to spoil it for others who disagree with them. The sad part is there are those who try to spoil it just to spoil it.

Hello.

Slander? you want slander? just tell people you are a ham or a cop.
Cops have this image, cops, pigs, fuzz, etc.
Hams have this image, overweight hogs that stink.
I go thru great effort not to look like A or B.
Quite a few hams, the B group, try, sort of, to look like the A group.
Slander? walk around with half a dozen talkies on your belt, wearing an orange vest, and have the odor of a rendering plant, do not forget that badge, and see what slander is all about.
I see no need to slander, the image speaks for itself.

I think right here is where the mirror should have been inserted so he could see what he is saying and take his own advice.
