[WWYC] WWYC - The new P5? (was something about frequency stealing)

[pwillfor at abo.fi]

Jeez guys, you really know how to blow things up! I would say what most 
people need, and also needed in the last Luc vs Chris fight is Cultural 
knowledge. In my eyes Mike was not temprered. In my eyes neither Chris 
or Luc was. IT's just that it may seem so if you don't see cultural 
differences. I also used to think people from southern Europe we're hot 
tempered, until I realised their ways of expressing themselves is maybe 
a bit more firey than ours. Not it seems like people have the same 
problem with scandinavians. 

Also I am completely against it that people, who don't understand each 
other start building a fire that becomes so big someone has to resign. 
Have you guys ever heard of freedom of speech? In this case I don't 
think anyone was flamed, as I am completely agreeing with Mike that 
stealing frequencies is something that should not happen. In the case 
that the stealer doesn't hear the other station is a different 
circumstance, but in this case apparently the operator had to hear Mike, 
before he tried to steal the freq. How can WWYC develop as a "club" if 
discussions are not allowed? Something makes me think WWYC slowly 
turning into P5, with the difference people are not being killed for not 
being able to discuss hot topics, but every hot topic here seems to make 
people disappear. 

I would say, learn a bit about your friends cultures, and maybe you can 
see their point-of-view, and not reading it as a flame against someone. 
What we need here is to calm down, learn to know the way people discuss 
matters in various parts in the world. Only that way we can call 
ourselves "worldwide" for real!

just my 2 cents as I hate to see good guys leaving WWYC because of these 
matters. 

cheers, 
Pat
