One of them moved to 14.195 and chewed everyone out.  An argument ensued with lots of words were exchanged that can't be used around children (which many of these guys apparently are).

I called at at one point he came back with "whiskey sugar" but in the confusion, I had already moved the TX VFO and couldn't remember where it had been set.  So I failed to work him as the peak ended and he faded back into the QRM and QRN.
