Another friend and neighbour from those days, many years back then also operated a CB. His name was Ernest Walton, he is now deceased (rip ernie) he also was a master at Morse Code. He used to communicate with people from around the world via Morse and they would make friends and trade postcards and things. So it goes to show it is down to the person and how they are with people which results in the way they are treated.

Totally differnet thing mate CB and the Internet! Millions of people could read this if they wanted - CB was much more closed and people then were much more well mannered - knowing that if they started being abusive over CB they'd be turned off - not so easy on the Internet.
Also I have been civil to people here it is their response that is at fault. You are lucky you weren't attacked by your comments about drugs - others have been attacked for expressing similar views to you - read the threads and you will see.
I post on other forums about issues that here would be attacked for commenting about, but I am not slandered there, only here because some people here have very strict opinons and are not open minded.
