- CAUTION: BIAS
Most amateurs have likely heard of electronic bias.
But, it would appear that most of the posters herein, with the notable exception of KB1FZA, K4RAF and possibly KE4TEW [I'm not sure of the last, because his post appears to have 'disparued'], have not heard of common bias or for that matter critical reading/thinking....
Bias involves unfair influence [look it up in the dictionary]. Bias/unfair influence connotes dishonesty. When bias in everyday dealings is unavoidable, as it sometimes is, it should be disclosed....
But, because bias is such an insidious thing, especially when undisclosed/covert [as it usually is generally and in this article/posts in particular], it is well settled at law that a mere apprehension of bias is disqualifying, especially in judicial/quasi-judicial proceedings....
This article [which already is an unprecedented 'second kick at the cat'] and the numerous posts herein by Brian K3VR, both overtly identified and arguably also written under the 'nom de plume' [would the real AM'er please stand up], are replete with actual bias, self-dealing and worse....
As such, it and the other Articles/posts by Brian arguably are an insult to all semi-thinking radio amateurs along the lines of: 'you can fool most people most of the time'....
