@Dusty This is what entitlement looks like, folks.
Seriously. If you think blaming the ARRL for being up against a corrupt and entrenched monopoly makes sense, you’re a fool. I’m sorry to be blunt, but there it is.
Representation is not a zero-sum game where you get exactly what you pay for. This is why our democracy has come so close to failing-and you’re part of the reason why.
Yes, I just said that. Think very carefully before you reply, please. For all of our sakes.
@w0odl Unfortunately, I can’t. If someone wants to treat the ARRL as the inept perpetrator of our current state I can’t stop them, but I WILL say it’s classic victim-blaming.
I AM being respectful. I have attacked no one based upon who they are, and the person claiming I was is wrong.I won’t sit around and let people attack the only collective voice we have on false pretense-if that offends you, that’s a YOU problem.
ARRL is our voice, and a reflection of our commitment to our hobby.

Let’s take this down a notch. Please refer to rule number 1
Be respectful of others
While not a mod of mastodon.radio, I want this to be civil.

“I AM being respectful.”
It’s just not the case. It’s ok to voice an opinion but we can do so in a manner that doesn’t attack other people, and you did in my opinion.
“This is why our democracy has come so close to failing-and you’re part of the reason why.

That’s a threat.
Personal attacks. That’s the end of the conversation for me.
And threats as well with the “think carefully before you reply”. Great way to have a conversation.
