Agreed.
A few years back, someone sent me a nice email to let me know I had terrible
clicks. I immediately determined my amp had developed a problem, which was
promptly fixed. I was most appreciative of the "heads up" and the way in which
he respectfully let me know. A kind and helpful word is often enough. That
same morning, another ham took a much different approach and sent a very
insulting comment.
I know this thread is mostly aimed at "intentional misconduct" and to a lesser
degree those who simply don't know any better. There also those situations of
a mental lapse (happens to all of us), or an odd equipment failure. Whatever
the circumstance, let's strive to handle each situation in a way that is
befitting of the term "Gentlemen's Band"....
