Because, like everything else, ham radio is "tribal". And we always
want to limit other's activities (ham radio, architectural committees,
political parties, religions -- all the tribes we belong to have
something to say about kicking the other guy.

Because the figurative "MY" rights to communicate are always more
important than the figurative "YOUR" rights to communicate. There
seem to be more and more hams who are just angry that their are any
other hams who don't do precisely what they do, and we have more "road
rage" than makes any sense at all. We're killing our valued hobby by
all of the screaming, literal anger, and infighting over mode,
frequencies, bandwidth, operating -- and maybe just enjoy picking
fights, to the detriment of all of us.
