Good morning, this morning, Jim. We'll miss you. We'll miss you in 73. Have a great day. Let's see. Next on our list is Gee, who just checked in. Maybe for this conversation. Who knows? Gee, what do you think? Are there things that we shouldn't say to engage in on the cowabunga net? Let us know. This is Casey, Jim, PKG. Over to you. KN4, LBS. Good morning, everyone. This is KN4, LBS. Hello, Gray. Hello, everyone. I always have to say I woke up this morning, and I was grateful. This question you're asking, I think I have a mouthful. But I want to try to cut it as short as I can. I want to give you an analogy. An analogy. Seven people to my company. Seven people to my company. I am the manager. And one person of the team, because it's a teamwork, to keep my company going. It's disruptive. And because of the person being so disruptive, two people kept on calling off. So my company was kind of quibbling. So now I have the disruptor, which is not a great employee. Two employees are calling off because of the disruptor. So I have three people off. I have four people that's working their butts off to keep the company afloat. And I still lose my company because I only working with four people instead of seven. The only thing I had to do was I'll have six. I could work with six for my company because I only needed seven. If that makes any sense from my analogy, I'm going to reset. Just one second. And as for being disrespectful, I am the kind of person, I respect you. Even if you don't show a bit of respect, I'll still give you common courtesy. But as a net controller, I am the police for here. If I become a net controller, whatever the case is, I feel that I control what's going on in my room. And I find that I am responsible. So if I feel that someone's being disruptive, let me go. I feel this, I don't know. It's just whatever it is. It's not my room. You know what I'm saying? But I'm still here. And I still come because I know a lot of people here. The six people are OK. But it is what it is. I don't own this, so I don't create the rules. And like I said, I like to play in the playground. So I play in the playground respectfully. I don't throw sand in your face. So that's me for K and for LBS. LBS. I'll be at 1W1M. Peter, you're back. OK, we called you a couple of times. I'm going to let Allen go. And then I'll call on you. We're asking about things you shouldn't do on the cowabunga net. So you get a chance to think about it for a second. D, I think that is a great analogy and good explanation of what people do. And very much so. You're running your net. You can ask Joe. It's your net. You run it any way you want. And short of, well, we're not going to talk about this or we're not going to talk about that. That will get you a lot of backlash, that kind of stuff. But you're right. You're the cop. That's what controls do. It's part of their job. Allen, W0GL. And you know what? Since I had you one and done, I didn't put you down on the bottom of the list when you wanted to contribute. And I should have. So it's over to you, Allen. What shouldn't you do on the cowabunga net? This is KC2PKG. OK. This is going to blow your mind. But you know, I've said this before. Watch out for the quiet ones. You never know what they're thinking. But I'm going to say this. And it's not very nice. But a week ago or so, there were texts that were being made in the text box. They were very unkind to another ham. And that should not ever be said or done. The same thing is on the air. I'm not going to say who it was, who it was against. But anyway, W0GL, Dr. Neff. Do you have any screenshots for me, Allen, in regard to that? Have you one, UKZ? No, I don't. Sorry. W0GL. I don't have any either, unfortunately. If anybody ever sees a Sargent for Upgrade, if anybody ever sees anything like that in the text box, I'm often on RF. The text box is not regulated like RF is. But if there is some nonsense and it's directed toward another ham, and it's demeaning, degrading, insulting, whatever, take screenshots, guys. Because in order to do anything about any of this stuff, I know who you're talking about. I know who you're talking about comments being directed towards. But we need evidence. And that's the thing. On here, when it comes to the audio side, we can pull recordings. The system's recorded 24-7. We can go back through and pull the recordings. The text box, unfortunately, that's not kept the same way. So if you do see anything in there, two buttons on your phone will take a picture of your screen, send them on over to me. And then we can work on dealing with it then. Sorry, Gray. Back to you, man. Feeling you, UKZ. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec, November. Yep. All-star notes. That's correct. Well, you'll feel more confident if you have actual evidence. And you'll be able to examine it for yourself. And I don't think that's a bad thing at all. OK, WB9 CSP. He's jumping in here. He's got some things to say. So we're going to listen to him. This is KC2PKG over to WB9 CSP. WB9 CSP. Well, I know this one's going to scare the hornets' nest. But I know Daryl has been a ham for about as long as I have. We both started back in 06. But the difference is I don't know about the Canadian rolls as much as he does for ham radio. The rule that I was brought up on is no religion or politics. And I know that sometimes gets brought up here. But I noticed as things have gone on and on in the years, it's kind of changed. You're allowed to talk about it. But it's still kind of like one of those tabby things where you have to be super careful about it. Because you can still very easily get things tumbling out of control if you start talking about it. So the way I do that with my net, since you mentioned nets as well, is I try and keep this topic very neutral. Or if it does have either of those in it, it's kind of like a history thing. What did Pope Francis do when he was in Italy or something? So that's usually how I make my approach to that stuff. But that's just my thing about the net. I haven't heard it in a long time, though. But I think it got brought up once. Vaccine, gray, WB9, CSP. How do you know when UKZ put comment? Go ahead with your comment. Richard, there's no written rule in any amateur radio classifications, American or Canadian. You said rule. Rule you were brought up with. There's no rule. It's not written. If you can find it, I'd love to see it. But it doesn't exist. We encourage free speech on this net. And if people are offended by general discussion topics, then that's on the person who's offended and not the topic itself. So we try to keep things here when we discuss politics and religion. We try to keep them as people's opinion only and not direct it toward anyone. I'd never insult your religion, for instance, or your political views. But we're open to discuss anything that's in the news, which is very political. And if someone wants to discuss religious topics, we don't often do it. Sometimes political and religious do get crossed, and then we do have a conversation. But as far as just freedom of speech remains king on this one, man, I think he's only a new ham within the last couple of years. I'm viewing you, Casey.
