I guess that's the point. Act like a professional and you get treated like one. There really are times when one pilot can require 80-90 percent of your frequency time even when he is only 10 or less of traffic. I'm not talking about special situations or problems, just poor technique. This can become detrimental to the others I'm trying to provide service to. As I pilot, I know ATC is only part of what a pilot is dealing with and I constantly remind my non-pilot colleagues of that when they get impatient with someone who may be dealing with other issues. Sometimes the best way to deal with a problem child is to move him along so he doesn't cause a issues for others. That's all I'm saying.
