Really?
I operate by the 'norm', on a freq which I am currently 'borrowing', the
other op is coming to me with his 'operating weirdness' and you're
making me sound like the villain.
From my perspective, its kinda like someone coming to your house, as a
guest, and instead of behaving themselves to societal norms, they take a
pee on your potted plant.
I guess I would be a rude host if I didn't take that in stride.
