While I am in agreement generally, please be careful with naming
names. I remember vividly a few years ago a RTTY contest when some lid
spent most of the contest using a fake call sign, telling everybody to
"get off the frequency" and using other rude language. The call sign
he used was one belonging to a top contester, one who would never do
this kind of thing. When the top contester was accused of this and we
found out it was a pirate, we were HIGHLY embarrassed. As far as I
know, the real pirate was never identified.

The suggestion to email the person first is a good one.
