[CQ-Contest] New Category Suggestion

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I understand the point that NN4X was making.  Do people need to be 
arseholes when they don't necessarily agree?

I thought the purpose of this reflector was to discuss and debate ideas, 
concepts, etc.  I didn't realize that I had to agree with a particular 
mantra to be a member of the list.

This list has devolved into name calling and many are quite 
disrespectful of others opinions and comments.

I guess this is what happens when people become old farts?

These posts just show that hams are just like everyone else.  The 
disrespect shown toward others in the real world is about the same as in 
this reflector.  I used to think Ham Radio people were better people, 
would never cheat, treated others as they would like to be treated.  No 
longer.

Is there a particular platform that members of this list must conform to 
in order to be accepted?

At least NN4X has the courage to make some suggestions.  Most simply 
continue to keep their heads firmly planted in the sand.

The value of this list continues to fade.
