RE: [DX-CHAT] 'tis the season
Oh, please. Sorry Charles, but I disagree. This is political correctness run amuck. I am not a Christian, but I do not take offense when someone wishes me Merry Christmas or equivalent at this time of year, as I understand the sentiment behind the comment. Too many are quick to take offense, high offense at that, at perceived slights that are nothing of the kind. Keep this up, and you'll end up like the some PR types in the City of Pittsburgh, which tried to retitle this time of year Sparkle Season a few years back. And ended up insulting everybody in the process, even the atheists. We should not need a lawyer to advise us on how to risk avoiding offending someone in even the slightest way, when our intention is to wish someone the best of times at this time of year. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Charles Harpole Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 5:20 PM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] 'tis the season To Western hams, mostly Please remember it is most polite to offer a seasons greetings or happy holidays to those not of the Christian faiths (instead of Merry Christmas for example).

Re: [DX-CHAT] 'tis the season
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2008! God bless us. Everyone. Oh, wait a minute I might offend the athiests or agnostics--Even though I AM one, I'll say it anyway because it's that time of the year and it makes people happy. Charles (and other PC-types), maybe, instead, it would be best for each of us to wish our fellow hams -- and or fellow man for that matter -- something blessed and peaceful that we feel deep in our own hearts. If the ham on the other end of the circuit feels animosity towards me for being wished Merry (or Happy) Christmas on a day we hold near and dear, that doesn't say much for him, IMHO, and if that's the case, do I really want him in my log? Wish me a Merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, joyous Kwanzaa or bid me a merry winter solstice...I'll not take offence at any, nor will I think less of you for doing so. And while I'm at it and on the subject of the 4th of July, God Bless America and keep her men and women in combat safe. At 05:50 PM 12/14/2007, you wrote: HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!

Re: [DX-CHAT] 'tis the season
Charles, please do not try to impose your silly sense of being offended on me. People in this country are tired of bowing and scraping to everyone who is offended at every stupid little thing. If you are offended by someone saying Merry Christmas, move to someplace it isn't said. If you have already done that, be happy and keep your offended nose out of my business.

Got 'em on 80 through some QSB and my usual S9++ electrical QRN. They were stronger on 80 than 40 to me, and (of course) working EU heavily. Sigh. I lost them on 40 from about 10:30 to 11:30 pm then they came back up, albeit with deep fades, but by then, they weren't listening for stateside any more and the EU powerhouses took over. I'm hoping to nail 'em on 1 or 2 of the higher bands tomorrow before the impending Nor'Easter forces me to lower the tower for a couple of days (can't beam to them when it's down due to trees). They're saying freezing rain and heavy ice accretion possible as well as strong gusty frigid winds from the NW for 3 days afterwards. Ought to be interesting to say the least! I'm hoping I can at least get the tower back up part-way after the worst of the storm is over. Gotta say, it sure would be funny if I only get them on one band, and that band is 80!
