Are negotiations for reconciliation on?

Still one more BCW list rift! They are at it again! At each other's throats that is! The ‘morally superior’ are going for the jugular of their ‘list mates’. A new rash of ‘banning’ or folks leaving the list is in the offing, even though Ben Gardner kd7bcw, has vowed to himself not to remove anyone from the BCW list (He’s already banned or forced so many folks to leave that who is left?).

On the BCW list, Orv Dalton k6uey, has accused Ben Gardner kd7bcw, of giving Billy w6wbj, the chance to take the pulpit and preach to the masses! Ben accuses Orv of being a sidewalk supervisor. (Boy, it that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black!)

In my humble opinion Ben, Orv, and others of the ‘morally superior’ of 3678 have NEVER heard the phrase, Mind Your Own Business (MYOB), not to mention ‘live and let live’. They take everyone to task; try over and over, to make ALL take their ‘suggestions’ on how to behave and with whom, and on what frequencies, except themselves! Just ask Trish Ray k4ze, their latest ‘victim’ (Perhaps the ‘poster’ victim of the HAM world! The victim’s victim.).

This newest BCW schism came about because on air, the night of Jan. 21, 2007, Ben Gardner kd7bcw, Dave Jolley nz7j, Moody Law wq6i, and others visited 3.840. (Trish k4ze even chimed in to make it known she was there.) Now that Art Bell w6obb, is back and has purchased radio equipment but has NOT upgraded his license, artie can not join his ‘cult of the loop’ worshipers on 3.678 – so the ‘morally superior’ have a small problem.

The Hams that hang out on 3.840 are not saints, for sure they are sinners, but at least they know it. Anarchy reigns on 3.840, anything goes (especially as pertains to mocking and/or reporting on artie’s antics to the point of BORING), including changing loyalties, and much back stabbing. No apologies accepted or offered! Indeed, I’d like to see some basic civility inserted. But the fact remains, that the HAMS on 3.840 do NOT try to make everyone conform to their behavioral demands.

The delegation of the ‘morally superior’ actually talked to Bill Crowell w6wbj, Jim Watson ki6gu, and others. The conversation topic: is reconciliation possible? Of course, no middle ground was found; but the negotiations have been opened, and the ‘background’ in-fighting has begun...
