There is room in contesting to accommodate all interests and the way in which operators participate, if the sections permit. 
The fact that you prefer not to use the DXcluster system or any other similar potentially two way communication arrangement in contesting isn't necessarily everyone's wish so you are coming across as knocking everyone who does, be they HF or VHF+ operators, as tarnished if they do not imitate your particular modus operandi. 

Not the best way to persuade your position is the best and we should all follow you lead and go backwards.
