REPLY:

First of all, nobody runs megawatt stations on 80 or any other band.
If you want an intelligent conversation, don't exaggerate. 

Second, if they want to talk to their own clique, that's their
business. Having an amateur license does not give you the right to
intrude on anyone else's conversation, any more that in normal life.
If they want to invite strangers, they will say so.

Third, I listen a lot to the bands and the "juvenile hi-jinks and
atrocious language" is pretty rare. Don't make mountains out of
molehills. 

Perhaps you need a different hobby? Think about it.
