I, for one, don't suffer fools or a-holes gladly and my first instinct
(however adolescent and misguided) if subject to the sorts of antics
described here would be retaliation.

One thing I will say in favor of the JT65 et al users (without excusing the
behavior) is that it's a mode that really requires a fixed set of
frequencies.  The small packet size, the absolute time dependency of the
protocol, and very weak signal capability make it basically impossible to
tune around hunting for activity.  You have to know where it's going to be,
and a gentlemen's agreement to stay clear of the those few kHz in each of
the bands isn't the end of the world.

And JT65 users have to realize that if they're going to break out of the
tiny window they currently occupy, that 20 watt signal detectable below the
background band noise isn't going to heard by anyone using CW or RTTY.
