Haha wtf, who is this guy?

[burt2481]

@bgrigsby2004 Don't use a word you have never done (F)

[YaesuFoxTango]

Maybe nobody likes you Burt. Ever thought about that?

[burt2481]

@YaesuFoxTango Since your videos have about 200 views and mine over 500,000 and think that is your problem.

Well Burt, Perhaps they are working, not making a video to denigrate the very hobby which they have voluntarily entered. These repeaters have been paid for, maintained and used by hams. How ironic that you are using the volunteer ham repeater system to belittle those same hams. Some people, when embittered by life, strike out at their family. It seems you have decided to strike out at your own hobby. I hope you, in time, heal from your obvious loss of direction in life.

Many local repeater clubs are for bitter old white men with nothing to talk about but their failing health and their dislike of things on this planet.

Yep they put their mics down as fast as possible and sit frozen with a frightened look on their faces like they've just been caught thumping their puds. Then after you are gone they cautiously test the waters and resume their secret thump-a-thon.

@tech5353 so what I am saying is that I think the answer to things such as this is, yes, it's mean to ignore people. I have been that person being ignored Burt. All my high school life I was bullied and ignored. You can't hold it in and let it eat you up. Don't let it take your happiness away. Holding that kind of spirit inside of you only destroys. Ignoring people is mean. It is. The thing is Burt, what you are doing is no better. Do you want to get back at them or forget about the mean in life

[tech5353]

@burt2481 so a year after posting this I'm returning to it as I read my inbox messages. I think this is...a poor example of how humans interact with one another. I also will say that my video on Aesa eating that cheeseburger was a piece of happiness. Me enjoying life and being able to lighten up and be silly, not have to worry about things. I do apologize for my zest and zeal in commenting, often times when I see something that I perceive as not completely accepting and kind, I get very upset.

Bingo... our club members have a special hatred of the Japanese and issues involving the military.

Well, that is unless the "Jap" is a female. Then these old timers all go looking for their Viagara.

@solobackpacking

Especially minorites, and anything intelligent!

[skepticalinquier]

Burt, you would make a great documenatry controversial film maker. However, nobody give a shit about amateur radio except those lessthan sane people who use it.
