That may be the case for SSB, particularly 75 meters, but not so for
CW. Iv'e made over 2,000 "rag chew" cw QSO's in the last 2 1/2 years
and never had a bad experience. Everyone has been kind and courteous.
Now people do get a little stupid and rude trying to make dx contacts
in a pile-up but for general conversations, cw is a pleasure. Before
taking up cw, I did a lot of psk-31 which was much like cw as far as
courteous operators.
