[CQ-Contest] Why I ignore "NA EU" etc

[PA5MW, Mark]

Oh there is a few good reasons here from EU why some refuse to respond 
to these 'discussions';

- Our critical input often does not appear here
- Whatever diplomacy used, as soon as we seem to *touch someones 
personal toy-preference* we get bad mouthed by US hams, describing our 
view as the worst on the planet, calling us names etc.  (that kind of 
content is NOT moderated by the way)
- Similar experiences was confirmed by others to me off-line

For me, I was able to put things back in sync positively with those via 
direct mail; there is no fulfillment in a maintaining  a dispute, let 
alone calling names, ever.
However, I do refrain from entering discussions where those few here who 
rule it all and are not willing to accept there are hams with a 
different opinion. Live and let live.

Rather go contesting.
Enjoyed a GREAT 160m CW  weekend.
Hope you all enjoyed it too.
