If I were forced to post an open log I would simply go play radio and
not bother to turn a log in.  It's not worth the grief of having a
dozen people publicly question my motives over every transposed call
sign, every QSO with a multi-op, every stop in a rare grid square
where I called CQ for hours just to hear white noise because no one
turns their beams that way (you know, violating the spirit of the
contest by not contacting as many people as possible.)

Guilty until the log proves me innocent, and the beauty of the system
is that if I make an enemy in 25 years by, God help me, actually
winning a contest, it'll be a sure thing that all those past logs will
get publicly flayed on various reflectors.

No thanks.
