[Elecraft] abject buffoonery

[Brendon Whateley]

I really think that the discussions of bad behavior is as old as the
hobby.The correct move, like on the internet, is to not feed the trolls.
Discussing at length just discourages us new guys by exaggerating haw bad
things are.

Let's use common sense and not empower the bad operators and trolls.

- Brendon
