1.  He can get a pile up any time on air, and worse in contests.
2.  He got a ham license to rag chew.
3.  He got a ham license to contact home folks.
4.  He is offended by impolite behavior.
5.  He finds the rules are skewed to favor USA hams, or EU.
6.  He does not enjoy responding to QSL requests, to demands that he use
LOTW, or otherwise mess with QSLs.  Two USD for what can cost him four USD
also does not make much fun.
7.  HE chases DX which does not include the majority of contest callers.

Do you get the idea?
