[CQ-Contest] Unsportsmanlike?

I'm sure there are some contesters that in some situations might tell a 
slow op to "go away" (and we don't know the full story on that) but it 
seems to me that Ford's apprentice was in over his head and not very 
enthusiastic to begin with (only after "much encouragement and proding" did he get on).

Perhaps he was looking for an excuse to stick his key "back in the 
box".  Sounds like CW isn't his "thing" and maybe he just doesn't *get* 
contesting.  My guess is that this "attempt" at Sweepstakes only 
reaffirmed his dislike of contests.
