Let's get a grip here.  Anybody can ask anything they want.  Its up to the 
DX station to decide what he wants to do.  If he wants to QSY, THEN HE CAN 
QSY.  Or he can tell the requestor to pound sand...

This is not an ethical question.  However, it can perhaps be argued that 
such behavior is unsportsmanlike.  Personally, I WILL NOT ask a DX station 
who's CQ I've answered to QSY if he's running a pile.  To do so shows a 
lack of awareness of what's going on around you, or else a tremendously 
high level of arrogance.

Don't get me wrong - I got burned by this during this past weekend when I 
was waiting for DX stations to come back after a QSY.  But so what?
