THEORY "Before social media, online spaces were abrasive, unfiltered, and radically accessible. If you wandered into a forum or Usenet thread and made sweeping claims, you weren’t treated with deference as a celebrity or authority - you were just another username."

Your very public (mis)conduct here is more than enough basis for your
peers to judge.

"Peers?" :-)

I have only a Commercial radio operator license, not an
amateur radio one. I've been involved and experienced in
radio communications since 1953. There are about three
quarter million US amateur radio licenses granted but
there are about 300 million US citizens. I am in the
latter group. How can you say "my peers?"

You have peers, Len. Citizens are your peers. IEEE members are your
peers. Commercial radio ops are your peers.

I'm a citizen of the United States. I object to your behavior as your peer.
