but the struggles that I witness other people having while they're just trying to get into a wonderful hobby, & contribute to its growth & survival, has really gotten under my skin today.

So I'm poking some right in the eye.

If that means you're now gonna block me, good. Good bye, good riddance, and good luck ya dillweed.

@tsherrygeo @kelvin0mql I was at a coffee shop when I saw this, but as soon as I got home in it went.

We could start a campaign of sorts to put POLITE pressure on QRZ, your favorite logging software, etc. to add a pronouns field to their database(s).

I'd happily sign a petition, but I sadly have zero expectations of QRZ responding given what I've heard about them.

@kc2ihx @tsherrygeo
Same.

But you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

I know this because I generally take zero shots.

@kc2ihx @kelvin0mql @tsherrygeo Great idea guys. I've added my pronouns to my QRZ page too... I wish my employer would add a field for preferred pronouns on their employee lookup app. My former employer had it built in, but I think a lot of companies (like QRZ?) probably just view is as additional development work they don't want or feel the need to do...

@tsherrygeo @croyle @kc2ihx
Yeah, it’s an uphill battle if someone needs to lift a finger.
