moleculo, with regards to YOUR comment,

'davegrantsr:
I respect the balls it takes for you to voice your displeasure publicly, and I certainly value the input of members when there is a matter that needs to be addressed'

there had been comments regarding robb's posts almost since he became a moderator here. his knowledge and technological abilities or lack thereof, as well as his totally false and/or misleading statements with regard to electronic theory AND his absolute degrading-TALKING DOWN TO THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY KNOW MORE THEN HIM-of those who comment on his posts is what has driven me to this. i stand by all of that, and looking back, even his pre-moderator posts showed a lack of electronic knowledge based on the questions he asked and the statements he made. BUT he SHOULD be asking questions, THAT is what these forums are for. NOT dishing out 'ABSOLUTELY-NO-DRIFT-as-ABSOLUTE-FACT-on-a- $179-cb-radio' incorrect info as YOU know it is. at least as a person in a place of authority he shouldn't be making false statements....again, sounds like that other place. he should have, as i and others did, at least qualify his comment with either PROOF or comparison to other radios. that may have led to at least some credence and less flamethrowing.

his moderator privilege SHOULD NOT neccessarily be based on his electronics skills and knowledge, but his ability to 'run' the forum-i HATE having to refer to c****r all the time, but i am NOT the only one here who sees the similarities-if nothing else, robb seems too intent on padding his post quantity by spouting incorrect information and then bashing those who start out by informing him of his lack of knowledge, rather then diffusing situations started by others. c*****r works in EXACTLY the same manner, except the moderators are stymied by king moderator.   LET US ALL HOPE that never is the case here.

as for-

'I've gone back and read that thread about 5 times and I don't anything close to what you are describing. I did find some back and forth about technical specs and opinions (which was mostly fine) but also a bit of name calling which was not appropriate by several parties'

maybe he didn't exactly say 'close minded fools' but that is OBVIOUSLY what is implied. i saw it, SEVERAL other members posted comments to it-maybe not as strong and as obviously as i did-along with the reps recd, PM's & emails i've gotten from members commenting on this fiasco. in fact, they are LITERALLY 54 me right, 2 me wrong & 3 not sure where they were going with it.....so, i think i have some supporters, unfortunately, more then a handful need to be vocal.

my personal attacks? MY personal attacks?? MY PERSONAL ATTACKS?????? highlander got it. i EMPHATICALLY STATED THAT A MODERATOR NEEDS TO BE WITHIN HIS BOUNDARIES.   that i why i started THIS THREAD. members can and always will go 'too far' with each other. that is what the moderator is responsible for fixing, NOT making these comments-

'Originally Posted by Robb
Now I can clearly see that those that hate these radios do so out of blind ignorance. Must be something wrong with their diet; need more fiber!'

and-

'Originally Posted by Robb

HA! I really don't give half a horses hump for getting 'free radios'. But I do care about making a call it as I see it. These experts just bore me to tears - especially needing a boot in the right spot from time to time.'

are you kidding me????? those comments from members would've pricked up the ears of the moderators, when a moderator made those comments, the members stood up & took notice. he needed the wet noodle lashing before we got here and HIS BOSSES blew it.

last, we KNOW how QRZers see this & most all 'cb forums'-and i KNOW CB is NOT the main focus here, the RADIO HOBBY is the focus.   did YOU see robb's posts on the 257 on qrz?????   i am ABSOLUTELY happy my call & my user name here cannot be connected. i was EMBARRESSED by his posts. i have disagreed with the kings-of-qrz with regard to their thoughts and feelings about CB radio AND export radios (amongst other things including no code) too many times to count. but i know WHEN to shut up, when to tone it down and when i am in over my head & need NOT to comment. he needs to do the same. and he needs to start in HIS OWN HOUSE.

THIS IS AMERICA, opinions were fought for in 1776.   my opinion IS, as some others have publicly stated as well, is that robb needs to tone it down & be restrained. that is what started all of this. and as highlander says-

'I think you should have removed Robb's moderator status, and kept the review policy unchanged.

Obviously, you are unable to see or comprehend his very negative impact on the forum and members. He must be a close friend of yours, or have something he is holding over you. You are bending over backwards to keep him as a mod, even though he has time and again shown he is not mature enough for the responsibility.
you also have a very strange idea of what a personal attack is'

i said it, & i'll sign it. where's the notary public to make it official?
