Pirate Radio News & Commentary
As I stated in our previous post, I was about to publish some listener reaction to the torpedoing of The Crystal Ship when we were interrupted by the raging sock-puppeteer sometimes known as 'Commander Bunny' also known by many other names... Bunny was attempting to frame a well-known DXer as the snitch who complained to the FCC about TCS, with his poorly done faked emails, in an attempt to deflect the rising anger of the pirate radio community against him for his suspected involvement in getting TCS busted by the FCC. That frame-up attempt on his part has been a rather embarassing failure which has only seemed to reinforce the case against him.
In the interim, aware that I intended to post some email comments, I was contacted by a listener who was concerned about the possible repercussions of being known to have said anything nice about us:
"I found your latest blog post very interesting, and it certainly looks like CB has driven in the final nail in his coffin. I ask however that when (and if) you do a blog post quoting the outpouring of support from listeners, that you please not give my name, nor post any references pointing to me (***** ******, for example). I'd really appreciate that, as *********, and don't want any trouble."
I assured the listener that, being aware that this could make them some sort of a target for certain unsavory individuals, and having no wish for any of my friends to end up on *someone's* 'enemies list', I had always planned to remove names and any other identifying information. (And yes, it is a pretty sad state of affairs that would make this anonymity necessary for the protection of our fans.)
Well, on with the unsigned reactions below.... and yes, they are real: I don't find it necessary to manufacture affirmations-- we've always gotten enough of the real thing!
