I have to agree.

Years past, I'd run a sked with my dad, from CO to OK. Occasionally, 
we'd run into some group of miserable little wretches that would fire 
up when we had been in QSO for some time, crank all knobs to the 
right and declare that it was "their" frequency. Clearly, any idiot 
can talk, as they so ably proved. I'd simply tell my Dad to QRX while 
I looked for a clear spot. I'd find one and we'd QSY.

Did their behavior really, really (and I mean really!) irritate me? 
YES! Were they in the wrong? YES! Would I have loved to cram their RF 
right back down their throats? SURE! But, my goal wasn't to prove 
them wrong or somehow show the world what jerks they really were: my 
goal was to make the sked work, so I did. We have lots of spectrum: 
use it as needed! Leave the miserable little wretches to play in 
their own dung heap...
