Why are Hams so kinda Snobby? curious

Sometimes people are the way they are because others acknowledge the behavior which causes self validation. More often than not, ignoring the behavior and thus not proactively validating it is the best way to make it go away.

Wow, did I just type that, or did Dr. Phil take over my body for a sec?

STEP AWAY FROM THE SELF HELP BOOK! NOW OR WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE AN INTERVENTION! :w00t:

Quick, somebody mail him the latest copy of Penthouse to get him back on track.

An eloquently preformed piece of politically correct oratory.

Unfortunately the typical internet troll does not conform to "normal" Psychological profiles

You're confusing snobby with literate. Don't worry, the bands will dumb down more as time wears on. 3.810 has guys talking fart jokes, picking their toes and 'drankin' all the time. If that is what you want, it's there, you just have to find it.

The other side to the coin is, try to have an intelligent discussion for any length of time on 75m, it's almost impossible. We get people cursing and making threats, all sorts of nonsense because they are too thick to understand how to have a civil discussion. If they don't understand something, they get angry and respond like an eight year old.....a lot like CB was when I was active there.

It's similar to the football players that used to punch the nerds. They get angry when they realize the limits of their intellect. It must be a horrible thing when one realizes they can't understand someone speaking the same language.

Been licensed here for 30 yrs..started with CB.. If I meet a new Ham and tell them I still like CB they look at me like a Moron.. why is that.. they are small minded in my minded and I hate that.. Doug

This is a hypothetical question without proper punctuation so in the beginning you've made yourself look like an idiot and makes you small minded for imagining someone would act this way towards you.

Suggestion 1: seek professional help for your mental issue.

Suggestion 2: use proper punctuation the next time you wish to form a sentence especially if you're attempting to curry the favor of a peer group.

Suggestion 3: Move out of your parents house and get your own life.

You guys are hanging out too high on the band. There are some GREAT operators that hang on 3735 and 3725 almost every evening. They range from Newfoundland westward to Ontario. Maybe that is a little too low in the band for phone for you guys. I know that Beetle knows a lot of good ops even lower in the band around 3510 or so too.

What the hell difference is there in calling someone small-minded and cutting through the red tap and calling them a straight up idiot for starting a troll thread like this? I'll tell you, not one bit of diffence.

He's an idiot for doing it and that's my opinion.

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

Demonstrating the fact that you are an idiot and calling someone an idiot are two completely differant things.All I am asking is to tone it down a bit and don't stir up something.

Mack, look at the mess, its exactly what was wanted. I do agree the guy posts nothing but useless drivel, and I imagine if he keeps up he will eventually be warned, or even better banned for it. Until then don't leave Mr. Dog, the Troll win!

I think I bit my tongue off. Oh this is hard for me.

QRN, by the letter of the rules I would have to say MR.Dog's post, along with multiple others from him go completely against the above statement. This thread is just one of his which violate the policy.
