I agree with this 100%. Legal speech is permitted at all times<br>
regardless of intended or perceived offense. The last thing I would want<br>
is for our repeater to be idle more often than not because folks are<br>
fearful of saying something that might unintentionally offend others.<br>

<br>
Indeed, direct communication with the person who you feel has slighted<br>
you is the best course of action, but please be prepared for that person<br>
to rebuff your concerns if this is just a matter of you being offended<br>
and not a matter of an illegal act (which should be taken to the<br>
appropriate authorities anyway). In my opinion, the least productive<br>
thing to do is take a personal offense to a mailing list which has the<br>
potential to divide the group and cause further strife.<br>
<br>
As a data network engineer, I've always followed the rule that I should<br>
be permissive in what I receive and conservative in what I send, and<br>
I've found that works well with radio communications as well. Statements<br>
of fact that I may not air myself are not going to get me ruffled when I<br>
hear them. It's a good policy to just let it ride if it's not illegal,<br>
and if it is illegal then there are appropriate agencies that should be<br>
notified.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Mike<br>
