#SorryNotSorry 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 #HamRadio #OldFarts right in the eye.
If that means you're now gonna block me, good. Good bye, good riddance, and good luck ya dillweed.
@kelvin0mql Nice, added mine to my QRZ profile.
@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).
@kelvin0mql @kc2ihx @tsherrygeo Added to mine, too. If no one has already logged the suggestion on QRZ, I'll do it.
@wt8p @kelvin0mql @kc2ihx @tsherrygeo I added my pronouns to my QRZ profile page maybe a year ago. No one has ever commented, but despite how many people use QRZ to look up every contact while on the radio, I don't think many people actually read them.
@wt8p Please do pass the suggestion on to the QRZ folks!
Yes, I did a year ago when this thread started, and have not had any comments one way or the other. As @croyle suggests, I don't think anyone really reads QRZ profiles, at least not unless there's some really out-there photos of antennas or shacks.
@kc2ihx @wt8p @croyle @kelvin0mql @tsherrygeo Nobody reads them? In that case, I'm going to load my profile images full of steganographic data! Nobody will find it!
@kc2ihx @wt8p @croyle @kelvin0mql @tsherrygeo This could be my new hobby. I could add fortune cookie style fortunes to every image I post or send. Alt text? Check! Steg text? Check!

Them: oh yeah, I upload my logs to QRZ.
