Email reply from Brad - N8PC: you say I was discriminating by telling you that Amateur Radio DOES NOT NOR EVER WILL Discriminate against any Man Woman or child of any age or skin color. but yet when People tell you that they are not going accept you for what you claim to be or your pronouns that are just words. you feel that your feelings override everything. you think your feelings being hurt is a discrimination against you.? You might want to re-evaluate you ideals of amateur radio. Amateur radio is about communications not feelings.  By the way I could care less about your PRIDE Network and also you have been Banned from the N8PC Repeater System. Your feelings have been hurt so this is how a grown up Man in disguiss acts as a child. Again Have a wonderful day as you Officially been block off all systems.

Brad - N8PC: What rule did I violate? I didn’t use hate speech. I just said pronouns are words and I don’t acknowledge ideology. That’s not harassment. Kimberly - KJ7OMO: The rule is “Treat everyone with respect.” That includes not dismissing others’ identities. Hate speech includes language that invalidates or marginalizes people based on gender identity. Here are the rules: Treat everyone with respect. Absolutely no harassment, witch hunting, sexism, racism or hate speech will be tolerated. No age-restricted or obscene content. This includes text, images or links featuring nudity, sex, hard violence or other disturbing graphic content. If you see something against the rules or something that makes you feel unsafe, let staff know. We want this server to be a welcoming space! No spam or self-promotion (server invites, advertisements etc) without permission from a staff member. This includes DMing fellow members. Brad - N8PC: I didn’t violate anything. You’re enforcing ideology. I’m blocking you. Kimberly - KJ7OMO: ok Clyde (Discord Bot): Your message could not be delivered.

Chat log on a Discord server containing the following: [REDACTED NAME] – 10/25/2025 4:37 AM Nice [REDACTED NAME] – 10/25/2025 5:00 AM My introduction - Hi all, I'm [REDACTED] (He/Him), born in [REDACTED] and bought up playing SNES, N64 and then xbox, I consider myself a gamer and retro games collector. My hobbies include gaming, retro game console collecting, modifying and repair, HAM Radio and technology. I currently work as a security officer in the hospital sector. I have been interested in radio for most of my life starting in CB and progressing to HAM. I use radio in my work and am also a former volunteer firefighter where radio was used a lot and I fell down the rabbit hole from there. [REDACTED NAME] – 11/12/2025 1:52 AM Hi I'm [REDACTED], born in [REDACTED], and my fave mode of communication would be P25 radio! I help run the [REDACTED] network over in Central Texas. Ham radio has ended up coming second and I need a reason to power on my DMR radio these days. I also mess with telephones and telephony a ton! Brad N8PC [REDACTED] – 11/12/2025 1:57 AM Hello. 1 thing — pronouns are words. Amateur radio itself does not discriminate. You are a radio operator and we do not care if you're male or female or whatever you think you should be. We just want to talk to each other and have fun. Please leave your ideology out of the equation. Thank you.
