I smell a troll. Every thread that dude has posted in has to be something contrary.... Seems like he's on a mission to rub people the wrong way!
As a user of all radio services/allocations to which I have legal access, I'll say this:
If I can't hear you splatter into or don't find you operating illegally on an amateur band, I simply don't care.
If you're operating on another (non amateur) service that you aren't licensed for, that's between you, the licensees of that service and the FCC. I'll listen to the fun and that's about it.
Bear in mind that the nail which sticks up the highest gets hammered the hardest. There are many high-powered operators in radioland which don't interfere with other spectrum users and who simply aren't bothered. They take pains to make sure their stations are clean.
Profanity, obscenity, differences of opinion/political stance/whatnot are another matter entirely and may not be enforceable by the FCC. But that's outside the scope of this thread.

The Intention of the forum is to share and enjoy radio related topics and at times users can get wound up in
Ham vers CB arguments.
Code vers no code arguments.

It is amazing how fast it'll get outta hand.

It was an adventure on Usenet and several other radio related sites I'm familiar with.
A couple others jumped on that bandwagon as well. Textbook example of the term "overcompensation".
1. Examples? It is easy to make accusations without proof.
2. Speaking of accusations without proof aka "fox hunt". More than one person over the years has faced a false accusation because of this.
3. Where I live, locally if someone is causing a problem they are dealt with by locals. No running to Uncle Charlie.
4. Every report to Uncle Charlie should be accompanied by the names of those reporting. This would put an end to false accusations. It is not uncommon for someone who is technically running illegal to report someone else that they are simply jealous of but not causing a problem.
5. The main point I made stands. People get FCC letters, ignore the same, fail to pay fines and a decade later are still doing the same thing.
I don't condone someone interfering with others. I go out of my way to make sure my neighbors don't have problems because of my radios. At the same time though I firmly believe that those that make false reports should face the possibility of real legal consequences.
