I keep hearing this meme but think it's either overblown, or used as an excuse to avoid the hobby just because they are outside of the typical ham radio demographic. I got my license a few years ago and nearly everyone I've ever interacted with has been friendly and willing to help if I need it. Yes, there are asshats on the air, just like there are asshats on the Internet and everywhere else. You just don't talk to them.
