What did I do wrong?

I think you mean that you would like to be able to ignore specific “threads”. If you truly meant “threat” I would urge you to report any threats by clicking on the ellipsis in the upper right corner of the post that includes the threat. 
 

I would also like the ability to ignore threads. 

Oh... dang typo. yes THREAD is what I meant

You could be right, and it may come to that. We'll see.

That’s exactly right.  I tried hard to give @Socalgmrs his due.  I even upvoted a few of his posts after others piled on just because it was him, wanting him to settle in and realize he didn’t have to act like that, but after the past few years where he has steadily gotten worse rather than better I realized that nothing I did was going to change for the better. It helps to understand that he was a member here under the name wrxp381 (his call sign), then changed his username to SocalGMRS, quit the forums, had all of his identifiable posts changed to come from username “guest”, and then came back as socalgmrs again to act exactly the same way he did before or worse.

As Randy said, others will provide whatever good information that he might have injected into a conversation.  You’ll literally miss nothing by adding him to your ignore list.

If he was genuinely a moron, I'd ignore him, but he does actually know some stuff that I occasionally find useful. I just don't know why he's gotta be such a douche about it.

I think the stuff that he gets right is either because he got lucky and said the right thing by mistake, or he researched the hell out of it and somewhat properly regurgitate what he read, but doesn't actually "know" what he is talking about. I think this, because right after he says something correct, he will follow-up with an explanation of why he right, but that explanation defies physics.

Imagine if I said that during certain conditions, if we shoot a GMRS single dang near straight up in the air, it comes back to earth and covers hundreds of miles in every direction.  But then, instead of saying that it happens because signals can bounce off of planes, meteor showers, the moon or (more often than not) random weather anomalies... I say it's because the radio signal is so heavy, it's like launching a watermelon out of a giant slingshot. Its kind of like that.

You shouldn't post his callsign because now people can very easily go to this link: FCC License Lookup

and find his full name and address via the publicly available FCC license information.  But he probably doesn't mind if everyone looks up his full legal name and address because we know he read all the rules and regulations before he signed up for his license - because that's the number-one stupid thing he obsessively repeats in his posts to other people.  So he obviously knows all of his information is free for anyone to look up.

I looked him up by FRN and the only FCC license he has is a GMRS license.

You can also use this website to see if a GMRS licensee is also a ham:

Everyone has to have a FRN number no matter if they hold a MGRS license, amateur license or multiple licenses. That's why I looked him up using his FRN.

And according to the FCC database, he does NOT have an amateur license, he only has a GMRS license.

If you go to the FCC website and look up a GMRS call sign, it will not show if they hold any other licenses. If you use the Advance Search and search by FRN then it will show all licenses held by that person the FRN is registered to.

That website showed two different GMRS call signs, the last name, middle initial and location are the same but the first names are different. 

The first call sign is his and the other is listed as possible match.

It’s possible for a person to hold different FRNs. GMRS.app will (I believe) find a person who holds different licenses under different FRNs. It appears to look at the address rather than just the FRN.

Im not sure you can determine someone doesn't hold a license using this method. I only have two licenses under the FRN that my Amateur and GMRS licenses are under, but I have multiple FRNs. And unless you know what names are associated with my other FRNs, you're not finding them.

This is true if they have multiple FRN's

SoCalGMRS should become an Amateur Radio Operator so he'll be a genuine "Sad HAM" and change his handle to SoCalHam and hang with his new hammers on the Radio Reference forum.

Fun fact: no one on the RR forums has an anus.
