What-the-F**?

[Alex_in_West_Virginia]

I asked 3 times last week for e-mail addy. that apparently was announced by a stn. that was on-air at that time, but only jfarley-a relative newcomer to this forum-replied.  Since noone apparently has any use for my input, and due to the other bunny-related garbage that goes on on the other forums, I've figured that my input is no longer valued/needed on pirate-related forums.  This hobby reaaaaaally used to be fun, but it def smells more like shit than roses for the past few years.  I really really do value the actual friends that I've made in this hobby (Terry-the-Newfie,eh, lol-and others) , but it def has become filled w/garbage, due to Pat/Jerry/Beans/Thumper/Kracker and all the other sockpuppets/assholes that seem to be dominating what used to be a fun hobby.   I've had enough of the f'd-up shit, so I'll find some other hobby that isn't dominated by assholes to add a little enjoyment to my life.  Fuck you Pat/Jerry/Bunny et al for fucking up what used to be a really really fun hobby.

Sorry, I'll try to answer questions if I can (if you stick around). Conditions have been really sucky today. I've heard almost nothing in ham bands or international shortwave bands all day. Just hearing a little bit of something on 6925 that I can't make out at all.

Haven't even bothered to listen 2day (unfortunately, due 2 present circumstances, Sundays are the only day I can listen).  This goes back years, but much more so over the last 3 or 4 years.  Last Sunday just reinforced my feelings about lack of interest in what was once a really really enjoyable/fun hobby, but has become dominated by asshole ops, and most longtime listeners that were really dedicatd to the hobby don't bother posting anymore, mostly due to the fact that the asshole ops just do their their best to alienate longtime listeners/supporters of the hobby.  And most of those that are left just really don't care about anything but seeing their names listed in loggings.

Well, Illegitimi Non Carborundum!   

I've done some listening to pirate radio stations over the last 10 years or so (at least) and I am still having fun with it. I've had a little more time to listen lately than I have had in the past. I hope it stays fun for me.

Electronic Mail Addresses for Stations (as posted by Ragnar):

Something to consider: it used to be controversial to post station addresses in logs or upon request. The idea was that sharing addresses would allow people to ask for QSLs even when they didn't actually hear the station. I don't think that's a big issue any more, although I personally don't post email addresses in my logs, just out of habit.

Alex,

What you're saying about the Murphy Bunny sock-puppets dominating the hobby would have been true a year ago.  It certainly isn't true now... and I ended up paying a pretty high price in putting a stop to most of it.

Yes, there are still a few out there-- but they are a pitifully powerless joke compared with what was going on a year ago, and are regularly held up as objects of ridicule by the majority of the hobby-- rather than being influential voices manipulating the discussion, they are now merely symptoms of the desperation of a sick mind.

Not sure what station you wanted an address for, I didn't see this... and perhaps most other participants here missed it as well.

Hopefully you'll reconsider this.  I for one value your input, along with that of *almost* everyone else involved in the hobby.

I agree with Poet; the FRN's rapid fall from relevance has been the best thing that has happened to the hobby in many years.

That explains a lot.

Well, Alex, somebody really riled against you the other night on 6925. I have a recording of some of it. Someone is evidently pretty mad at you. See my other posting in the Shortwave Pirates section with the title "UNID on 6925 AM at 0340Z March 19".

...Someone is evidently pretty mad at you...

In this hobby that's becoming a badge of honor. 

[zackers]

You know, I kind of had that thought.

You're in good company!

Pat/Jerry and whatever the f**ever he tries to pass himself off as w/his sockpuppets tried to drag my my personal life (even though he f**ed that up, since he just copied newspaper/piggy-police reports into what was left of the hobby, and we all know how offbase they are) into the hobby is just part of what f**ked what was left of pirate radio.  He f***d that up by not looking into what the really facts are, yet peoples' personal life has nothing to do w/logging stations.  I will no longer have anything to do w/what is left of pirate radio, but I will suggest that anyone that truly cares about what is left of it ignores Pat/Jerry/Bunny/Beans/Thumper/Kracker and all the sockpuppets and thier so-called stations and sockpuppet loggings.  Peoples' personal lives have nothing to do w/hobbies, but Pat/Jerry/Beans/Thumper and his lackey Krackhead insist on bringing outside garbage into what was left of the hobby.
