So you would like to shut down all discussion because the 'science is
settled'. Good factual discussion is important, but you see it as not
getting along. I disagree.

Cheating is cheating.  How many people used remote stations, exceeded 
their power limits, etc.   Singling out a mode because you are upset 
that it has taken away activity in your  preferred mode is not helpful 
to the hobby.    Not everyone that use FT8 cheats.  Not everyone that 
uses a amp that exceeds their legal limit uses it in that fashion.

How can you guarantee that everyone on the "Honor Role" was 100 percent 
honorable or even anyone that got DXCC did it right?  You can't so 
please stop singling out a mode you don't care for.  We get it.  Move 
on.  It is here.  Just like the Reverse beacon, packet cluster, etc.

We are all hams enjoying many aspects of the hobby.  Can't we get along?
