I hold no malice against KK6ZM whatsoever!! After all this is only a hobby.
Several years ago I was laying the pipe on 80 CW chasing a rare one with
marginal copy.. I got an e-mail from a DXer saying that I was calling
out of turn. I could have replied with a standard military FOXTROT
UNITED but I did not. I simply said that in the heat of battle one
sometimes forgets..
This is not a capital offense... Let's move on from this nonsense..
Many decades ago Buck Joyner (W4TO, SK about 1970) was on 20 AM. A DXer
came in and said "W4TO, you are wide"... Buck came back and said "I'm
not wide, I'm just loud" with that pair of 4-1,000A's!!!

Perhaps the REAL problem began with the guys in the chat room urging
him on when common sense would have dictated that he refrain from
transmitting until K1N cleared the field for NA callers. I had my gut
full of chat rooms when a topband friend was flamed morning after
morning on the ON_____by a few "topband gurus". Perhaps this same
crew urged KK6ZM on to call when he did when he otherwise might have
waited. Too bad he was pilloried on the reflector....he was only one
of several who were guilty of a multitude of "offenses" last night and
this morning.
