"Get out of the way or move on"
« on: January 17, 2023, 09:42:10 PM »

I was told today "Get out of the way or move on". Do I have ZERO value?
When you post to YouTube you wear a suit of armor. But it did hurt. Being hated on because you're old enough to retire hurts. Judgementalism and hate always do. I've focused on two main things:
Encouraging CW,
Encouraging a ham to have fun,
and to homebrew.. starting with antennas. Nothing wrong with a GREAT antenna that cost you $0.00... or the versatility of a Multi-Tap UNUN.

We are all wherever we are. We all are starting -- or started -- from somewhere. Yes. Bigger antennas are usually better. Higher antennas are usually better. Better rigs are usually better. Better skills and more experience are usually better. Enjoying whatever segment and sub group of hamdom you prefer is usually better. Most of us would probably like more than we have -- in many segments of life. But life is what it is for whomever we are and whatever circumstances we are in. Personally I enjoy the basics. Work whomever you can work on whatever band you can on whatever mode you can and enjoy the QSOs you have. Be proud of who you are and what you do. Learn along the way and expand your horizons if/when you can. Ignore those who cheap shot you but learn if what they are saying does have value. Ignore or learn is a choice you get to make for yourself.

If anyone claims to know everything there is to know about amateur radio, they are lying. Ignore them and keep on keeping on.

I think it was Eleanor Rosevelt that said-

Some people's only chance to taste happiness and success is when they take a bite out of you.

It sounds like you have plenty of both to spare, so consider it a donation to a needy person!

Hey,

Don't take that seriously!  Really!  That is all on them.  There will always be sociopaths or just jerks on platforms like YouTube.

Its the internet sandbox, I think that people, trolls that, lash out do that because its the only place in their life where they can talk back, in real life not the sand box they have no power.

A chameleon's skin color is determined by its environment.  A person who lets others determine their mental state is a kind of chameleon. 

Don't be a chameleon, don't let others decide whether you're happy, sad or mad.

I just finished eleven months of working with the public. Some of these ahole trolls are totally offensive in person. I took plenty of different fighting lessons over my lifetime and more than once I just stopped talking to a customer and waited eagerly for him/her to throw a punch...

Just ignore these trolls. Lots of folks with poor social skills out there today.

What's this all about? First of all, according to your QRZ page, you were 5 in 1964. So you should now be about 63. If that's old, then at 77 I'm a decrepit old fart. Oh by the way, your license expired in 2021.

Where were you informed to "get out of the way or move on," was it on an internet forum? Couldn't tell by what your wrote or the video, other than you said you turned your laptop on. Seems like you should be more like your dawg, and not worry about it. He seems to be thinking, "Go around the block and tell someone who really gives a rat's @$$." He looks like an Aussie Shepherd, but both his eyes seem to be the same color.

His license has a pending application so he's allowed to continue operating under FCC Rule 1.62.

NK:

So, some jackwad says some stupid stuff and YOU have to make an incoherent Youtube about it?
I don't get it.

Better yet, is there someone who lives near by who can do a "wellness" check on you?

No matter what your age is, or even the level of your experience.
There is and always will be some a$$hat who will let their ego elevate their stupidity factor.
Especially if they think it's funny to be a sh!+head.

Ignore them, they're not worth your time.

There are a lot of losers on the web, sitting in mom's basement in their tidy whiteys, eating Doritos, drinking Mountain Dew, posting obnoxious comments.  Why on earth would you give any of them any respect, or even consideration?  Just read them, laugh, and forget them.

Here is something that always helps me handle little dicks who aren't nice in the world.
