Being from Rockford, IL myself I think I've got an idea of what you're talking about hahahaha...
You've GOT to be talking about "leroy" and his usual drunken antics, as well as some of the rest of the guys on ch 17... There are a few good guys around, just most of them won't talk to you if they don't know you..

I can tell you that a lot of what you listed on here is why I even got my ham license in the first place.. I haven't been on the cb much in the past year and a half or so since getting my ham radio license, but occasionally I'll still fire one of them up and listen a bit (If you'd like PM me and I'll tell you my cb handle)... But each time I do I see not much has changed... "Leroy" will still be drunk on the radio starting the usual round and round arguments with the same people, and ending his escapades at 9pm on the dot... You can damn near set your watch by Leroy lol...

Trust me it's NOT like that everywhere, but at the same time you'll run across a few jerkoffs here and there no matter where you go. It just happens to be that there is a dense concentration of them here in Rockford...
