[CQ-Contest] Re: [frcc] Retribution for frequency stealing?

[Jerry Keller]

I hope you won't mind me asking, Barry, but is this really the way this sort
of thing should be handled? Granted that guy being wrong, doesn't it make us
equally wrong if we do the same thing as he?  "Retribution"? Wouldn't it be
against the rules to do what you suggested and purposely remove his QSO's
from your log?  The whole thing sounds petty to me.

I don't want to  single Barry out here, as I have heard quite a few FRC
members speak of "fighting for a frequency", but what is the accepted
practice in FRC?  As a newcomer, I'm wondering how a proper contester should
conduct himself....what does the rest of the membership think?
