While I hate to say it, the regulators' response to the "keeps banging away" 
question would be to point out Part 97 already prohibits willfully or 
maliciously causing harmful interference, and requires adherence to the 
standards of good amateur practice, a matter that is independent of RM-11708.

If there is something about a particular mode or automated system that invites 
noncompliance, or complicates enforcement, it would be appropriate for 
concerned amateurs to prepare a suitable petition for rulemaking, or to lobby 
Congress for increased resources for FCC enforcement efforts.

Barring that, the answer is to spin the big dial, or work on making your signal 
louder (but clean and within power limits) since clearly someone is having a 
hard time hearing that the frequency is occupied.

Finally, "I am fully willing to mix it up and compete", how do you
compete with a mode that keeps banging away
on an already occupied frequency until it makes a connection?
