Jim, Not working them for whatever reason is your prerogative. But working
them and then deleting them, causing them a penalty for no fault of there own
is actually clear unsportsmanlike conduct and should be stopped immediately.
If you don't like the practice just don't work them. But once you've worked
them and given them an exchange that they have logged - you own the action.

VERY different out west. FWIW, I have ZERO interest in grid-circling (which I
view as an abortion) and multi-band pursuits. I'm an HF contester -- I find VHF
contests beyond boring, and use them as nothing more than an opportunity to
pick up rare grids.
I am particularly turned off by the nearly universal practice out here
(W6) of working nothing but the SSB calling frequencies. I refuse to work any
station that sits on the calling frequencies, and I've often deleted QSOs from
my log of stations who I later find doing this very unsportsmanlike practice.
Don't look for me on CW or SSB on 6M -- I'll be on FT8 or MSK144.
