Signing "/QRP" is just another manifestation of entitlement. It is a
way of saying "I'm different and I demand special treatment."
It's the operator's choice to operate QRP (just a I choose to operate
with 100 Watts and simple antennas at the present time) but that does
not convey any special status, the right to demand that other operators
acknowledge that choice, or the right to demand that other operators
make a special effort "to work the weak station."
In a way, operating QRP is like other life choices ... keep it in your
shack and don't wave your flag in the face of others like a red cape in
front of a bull.

many people I can *refuse* to speak to, let alone for a reason that would
require my making assumptions about the mental or emotional state of a
stranger. Part 97 says /QRP is a perfectly valid indicator, so there's
certainly no rule being broken. So why on earth would I care?
I wouldn't get irate with someone for using a Marconi antenna, or critique
their use of a dipole instead of a Yagi, either.

If I was really bent out of shape I would log them and then email them
later and make any elmery suggestions after the fact, in a nice way.
Calling them a lid would not fit that bill.
