Like a flame-fest on a mailing list perhaps? 

"RTTY is stupid. If I want to know what someone wants to say, I'll use CW..."

"Radio is stupid. If we need a message sent at a distance, we'll use a
telgraph..."

"This telegraph thing is stupid. If we want to send a message, pony express will
do nicely..."

"Written messages by horse? That's stupid. A courier can even answer
questions..."

And if we buy that sort of logic, it's only a small step to:

"Ham radio? That's stupid. I can send all the messages I want on the
Internet..."

 Never one shy to feed the flames in a creative way....
