I get, it believe me, Mike I get it. As to the hair:
My hair is better than Trump's.I understand that you see my email as being over the top, but I know how my members are going to react. If you think my response was a little too colorful, wait until you see what comes from The Bronx and Joisey.Mike
Sent from my iPhoneMike, I am not so foolish as to go out on a thin limb and say hold up a bit there is some stuff in the works but that is what we are told very recently from a semi-reliable source. We are doing what we can so keep the lid on your constituents as best you can until we develop and effectuate the plan that the Board called for last week.And I don't consider two enforcement actions to be either a "complete B*ll$h!t response to all of our continuing complaints these many years" or a "a blatant and intentional response to our protests" or even a "continuing lack of respect and complete contempt." I consider the actions to be a step in the right direction, albeit an admittedly small one, insufficient by thelmselves. There is not much to be gained by flaming at them for the years of neglect. If the information we have doesn't prove accurate (once again) we will need to run further up the chain until we get some relief. But give us a chance to at least develop the plan and effectuate it before going all Donald Trump about it.73, Chris W3KDOn Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 1:37 PM, Mike Lisenco N2YBB <n2ybb@arrl.org> wrote:While it’s nice to see anything out of the Enforcement Bureau, I‘m just telling you that as soon as this news hits the membership, I will get a $h!t storm as we are once again ignored by Laura Smith and company regarding the 7+ year wait for help in ending the 24/7 jamming of repeaters in the metropolitan New York City area.

It’s worth noting that Tolassi is ex-WA1BHV. See the following from the March 18, 2005 ARRL Letter:
The FCC has warned David J. Tolassi, WA1BHV (ex-KB1EVE), of Barre, Vermont,
that he's risking a substantial fine if he continues to violate the
conditions of his 2004 license renewal. After a series of "enforcement
issues" relating to the operation of KB1EVE, the FCC renewed Tolassi's
General class ticket in January 2004 on the condition that he refrain from
20-meter voice operation for three years. Following up on allegations that
Tolassi had violated the prohibition, FCC Special Counsel Riley
Hollingsworth wrote the licensee February 23.
"Information before the Commission indicates that you have violated the
condition of your license by operating voice on the 20-meter amateur band,"
Hollingsworth said. "Please be advised that if the condition is violated
again, you will be issued a monetary forfeiture (fine)." Hollingsworth noted
that fines for such unauthorized operation typically range from $4000 to
$7000.
In late 2003, the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) referred
Tolassi's renewal application to the Enforcement Bureau for review as a
result of the "enforcement issues," which, Hollingsworth says, involved
inappropriate on-the-air behavior. To resolve the situation, Tolassi agreed
to stay off 20-meter phone until February 1, 2007, in exchange for having
the FCC renew his license.
In 1999, Tolassi, formerly KC1ZQ, failed to pass the Advanced class
examination after being summoned by the FCC for retesting, and his license
class was downgraded to General. The FCC issued KB1EVE, a call sign
appropriate for a General class licensee in March 2000. Tolassi obtained
WA1BHV last May through the vanity call sign program.
