So you guys tell me what we should do with Jerry (AB3NK). Do we let him stay with the hopes of him finally learning something about radio, or do we kick his ass to the curb because there is no hope of him ever learning anything no matter where he goes?

Well his enthusiasm for the radio hobby is admirable, and the fact that he went from novice to extra in a fairly short time says there is the ability to learn. Somewhere beneath the attitude is probably someone who just needs to spend alot more time learning to get along with other people, and perhaps less time sitting in front of the radio. Also the fact that he is active in all these radio related forums tells me he is looking for human contact. I say give him the chance to smooth out the rough edges, and hope it's not too late for him. I'm willing to give him a fresh start. I would like to offer some advice to AB3NK. Whatever you do... don't go work for the post office. A loosely wound ham operator in a postal service job is never a good thing. ;D ..and lastly...Seriously AB3NK, you need to get out of the house alot more often. Sarcasm mode off... Night Ranger |

Well, you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks..... There's a repeating pattern to his behavior, and something tells me he won't be any different here. But, on the other hand, he's been fun in a punching bag sort of way. As long as he doesn't get too foul in his responses, I'd let him go for a little while longer...... |

After reading my comment on kicking AB3NK to the curb and other members responses I am also inclined to agree that he needs another chance. Maybe he is not aware of how arrogant he comes across to others? One would think that it should have at least made a flicker in his head after being banned from many forums, amateur and cb related.
Only he knows what his true motives are and his actions in the future will show them to everyone. It shouldn't take long to figure it out one way or the other.

I like him.
However right or wrong his information, he has tried to help me with the Amateur radio antenna/propagation thing. And yhe's given as good as he's taken in abuse . . .
There's enough of the well informed to offer tweaks on anything
posted on any thread.
I do think a little patience is due a new Ham like Jerry . . .
I ain't even a Ham, and I need lots of patience.

Yea, but you know how to get along with people....... I suppose if Jerry was looking for help instead of dispensing erroneous information like he's been a ham for 30 years, instead of 3 or 4, I might be a little more inclined to cut him some slack. But after all the threads I've read about him on the forums he pulled the same stuff on and got the proverbial size 11 in the keester, I figure it's only a matter of time before it happens here. On the other hand, being forewarned is being forearmed, so we all know what to expect, so there should be no surprises...... So grab that bag of popcorn and enjoy the show....... ;D |

I vote he stays, but if he starts insulting members again I'd boot him. I don't mind stupidity as I think it can be cured, but rude behaviour we don't need.
Seeing as he's been banned on so many other forums, I don't think he'll last long. Looks like he never learned how to interact with people. It's sad, really.

You guys make the call if he stays. But I will tell you all now, he is at the end of my line ...... once he crosses it there is no turning back!
Prove me wrong, AB3NK. |

Rude, is another thing... As long as he can turn the attittude down a notch, I'm ok with him hanging out here with us. |

I might be a hard case, but I say boot his rude butt..he's only been banned at least 5 times from other groups because of his behavior....He's basiclly a troll. My guess is he's just waiting to see how long we will put up with him till he's banned. A sick kind of game. If we don't can him this time, he'll just get worse and worse till we do. He is a disgrace to the hobby. As a "famous" Deputy sheriff once said: "You gotta Nip it! Nip it in the bud!"

Give him " one" more chance. If he even looks like he is going to act the same way as before.........................S-can him so fast his nose bleeds.  He has been very quiet the past couple of days which is unusual even for him.  |

Interesting irony in that video choice, since Jerry acts like the Barney Fife of the ham bands...... BREAK-BREAK! ;D |

I'm now retired as a rural letter carrier (Yes Crazy Bob was a POSTAL worker! LOL). On one occasion (of many), I got stuck in the snow while delivering mail, out in the boonies. I had my FT 2400 Yaesu 2 meter mobile that I purchased at Delaware Amateur Supply (before HRO), & my 40 channel Uniden Grant CB radio.
I call for help on the repeater & no response at all, I call on the CB, & two vehicles come in about 15 miles away and dig me out, & won't take a penny to help me. I love CB radio. I met both of my wives on there. The first one I married in 1974, & the second time was 1987. We will be happily married 25 years, this October, & we are both Hams for over 20 years! ;D

I see AB3NK has been "promoted" to guest...again. We may have to come up with a new award for him. Instead of "Worked All States" he can get a "Banned from all boards".
: )

After his recent stupidity in posting I will retract my earlier post on giving him a chance. It is clear he cannot play well with others and has no respect for himself or anyone else. His purpose in life is to be a bad example to everyone else on not how to act.
Kick him to the curb........he does not deserve to be on this forum.

At least he's batting 1.000; he's banned everywhere.  Not sure it's something to brag about, but he might get off on it. |

Yes, Jerry is a special case. He has been banned from every radio forum on the internet. MOST Extree class hams ARE NOT like him.
I stand as an example. AA3RE. I like the role of elmer, I had and needed one. I still do!. However, there is still things I have learned I feel is my duty to pass on to those with less experience, the experience I have learned by doing. I am a hands on OJT type guy. The things I know I have learned by doing,succsess or failure.
But I sure hope I don't come off like old Jerry. There is a right and wrong way, I'm no expert on people, but I know his way was not the right way to pass on info.

Yes, Jerry is a special case. Yeah a "special ed" head case! I know most Extra class hams are pretty cool. One of my best friends (now a SK god bless him) was an Extra class and he was one of the coolest hams you could meet. He actually spent more time on 11 meters than the ham bands and he was my elmer. He didn't act like he knew it all and he admitted if he didnt know something, but what he did know he knew quite a bit. His niche was building antennas. ;D |
