One guy whom I thought was really over the top was spouting right wing bullshit to another ham in Europe. That's just totally bad form. Thankfully that kind of ridiculousness has dropped off after the election, although I do occasionally still hear whining about the stolen election. There have been times when I get so disgusted listening to that bullshit I just turn the radio off and ask my wife if there are any chores around the house I could help with.

It would be great to have a left leaning ragchew net once a week or so, but I wonder if there are enough of us to make it viable.
