More negativity wont help the situation any, and I sense a hint of 'code drop' in there. :D

Too bad there isn't a literacy test.

lol Thats so true!!! Mabey the CB'er should start taking tests (Then they will all just use cellphones)

Too bad there isn't a literacy test.

Interesting comment, If I'm not mistaken W1JSK uses English as a second language.

Perhaps you should learn another language and attempt to post in that language.

What I'm saying is this, your comment is totally uncalled for and it only shows how intolerant a person you are.

Didn’t our mother ever tell you “If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all”.

[KE7QCW]

Hold up there, gents. That's just common online talk, nothing you couldn't see in a chatroom or over an instant messenger. It's probably more frequently used than proper English, though I prefer the latter. I'd hold up a bit on the insults and get to the heart of the message.

I'm with you, Jim, there are some pretty (shall we say) less than courteous people out there that really shouldn't be on the airwaves if you ask me. The dignity of amateur radio is hardly maintained when we don't have all individuals regarded as equals in a worldwide hobby. It's fair to say that CW isn't for everyone, just the same way high power isn't for everyone. Just don't let them get to you. Some you win, some you lose, as with anything. If you keep it up, you're bound to meet a lot of decent people and have a lot of interesting experiences. I know I have, even just on the local level and working into HF digital. Enjoy!

I recognize it for exactly what it is. It is sloppy, garbled and inefficient. It indicates disorganized thinking, poor communications skills, and utter disrespect for the readers.

The initial poster held the responsibility for clearly communicating the heart of his message. Instead, he insulted us with chat-room gibberish.

[W4INF]

Dont worry, Im not affinded.

Actually, if there was a definition for affinded (http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Aaffinded&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a), Id be able to tell you weather I was or not. :cool:

And does your criticism reflect the "respect" you're advocating? At least his message didn't deliberately label anyone or discourage them from posting.

I hate to say it, but if you really find it that insulting, what are you doing on a public forum where ANYONE, regardless of literacy, can post? Sounds like you take a healthy dose of offense every time you log in. N'est-ce pas?

That being said, thanks for giving the forum posters something worth reading. Everyone loves a good conflict.

[W6IRE]

What do you mean "us". You're the only person who seems to have been offended.

[W4INF]

I was affinded.:D You forgot about me!

Gibberish.

This sort of reminds me of getting in an AOL forum and arguing with people concerning Hussein Obama.

I copy and pasted this into the Google language translator... It came back something like "origin of language unknown, paragraph makes no sense: Gibberish" and then my browser crashed.

Does anyone know of a more advanced translator that we can use?

That is one advantage of using CW since everyone is respectful without any bickering as we have here in this forum. I just wish we could return to requiring code in testing but the truth is, there is no longer anyone in the FCC that can copy code to see if we are abusing it.

[WR8D]

More negativity wont help the situation any, and I sense a hint of 'code drop' in there. :D

Heck the truth is just the truth and the rest of us sticking our heads in the sand isn't going to make it go away, It's gonna get worse.

No code drop in my opinion just the plain facts as you can hear them on the air.

I forgot to add, i hope i explained all my above comments to you higher lifeform city slickers in terms that even you can understand.

Hope i spelt ever thang wright two fer those of you so kaught up in prapoor gram'r.

Now see how stupid that looks, as do your comments directed to the original poster.

[W4CBJ]

The way to settle this matter once and for all is to get the GOVERNMENT to include in the HATE CRIME bill, anyone who says anthing bad about Morse code, it's operatorsand supporters...life imprisonment and yes maybe the final solution. I am a CW lover and if you disagree with me...you are offensive.

Yes, CW is great for weak people who aren't strong enough to just brush off the little troublemakers.

Should the kids find you there, just remember to keep on running. :D
