Well said.
Fortunately, during the CQ WPX SSB contest, the YN2KW team in Granada
experienced little to none of the complaints and accusations posted here.
Plus, we had FUN!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Some Observations
FWIW, I offer some observations as one of your humble moderators:
1) Contesting is supposed to be fun. The recent thread(s) on this channel
are anything but that. We have largely become a group of mean-spirited
curmudgeons firing one salvo after another at each other. This makes your AR
sad.
2) As a potential aspiring new contester, I would not walk but run very far
away from contesting after reading much of the email traffic on this channel
over the past few weeks.
3) Many of the posts on this channel have become personal. Tom and I have
deleted many for that reason. They often lack facts and are all-too-often
defensive.
I am the first to applaud spirited debate. Frankly, what I've been reading
of late is an embarrassment to our sport. We should all be ashamed.
Can I suggest you reboot and think two or three times before making your
next post? We're better than our current work product. At least, I'd like to
think so.
Thank you.
73, John, K1AR
