I wholeheartedly concur with the sentiments Bob expressed in his recent post on this subject. I don't think that electropolitical correctness has any more place on a DX list than do flames. I read a lot of sarcasm and some anger in the forbidden thread but I did not see any of the insults that

Dan, It is not that we ban it. Lynn and I never said that. But in almost every case the flames get going and the edge is reached very quickly and close if not to insults. Rarely is the subject ever able to get discussed without it getting out of line. Plus, in so many cases even when the

Chuck, How many times has it been discussed on this list through the years? If it would have been an all out ban, then it would have never been discussed again. There are a few lists out there that certain subjects are banned and they are never discussed again period. Moving on is not a ban. It

I think the list moderators are wrong to ban such discussions. I agree with you on this one. I think there is a fellow in Colorado with very thin skin. Kevin ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Chuck, IBOC will always be a thorn in the side until it is gone for good. Lynn I have no problems with civil discussions. But this last thread, I got a couple complaints, plus it was right on the insulting edge. But in most cases, as I stated, the discussions start getting close to flame

Chuck- I understood it was a ban on the WKRP thread. It was getting out of hand, and needed to be stopped. Willis Patrick: None of your responses have given the clarification I asked for as to whether we have a ban (you say no but Lynn's post says NO MORE POSTS ON THIS THREAD!) and if

Lemme get this straight. IBOC jams. Promoters deny it. They pollute spectrum and deny listener choice, with what is, by any legit standard, harmful, unlawful interference. They kept HD's troubles secret from the public they are supposed to serve, for blatant reasons. Now, in the eleventh
