Well know for twisting around anything to suit their way of thinking.

I have never heard that, never operate PACTOR 3 on 30m, but if it is true
then the Winlink2000 sysops who claim this are just as bad as the person you
described above becasue they try to twist the truth!
I like PACTOR 3 and the Winlink2000 system, but we should all follow the
rules in our shared ham bands. IARU clearly states that in Region I, 30m is
for narrowband modes up to 500Hz.
Of course some wil argue that IARU cannot force anything upon us and that
their local administrations do not mention anything about narrowband modes
anywhere and my license indeed does not mention anything, but if everyone
does what they like then we will all have a problem. I guess that IARU rules
are some sort of gentlements agreement and we should all stick to it.
It is people like the ones you are describing (I don't have a reason not to
believe you Rein) that spoil a very good system and also give PACTOR 3 a
stinking name.
I think these sysops are acting childish and they are as bad as the ones who
want to ban wideband digital modes from HF altogether.
