Absolutely. The concerns they raised with me was the problem if the aircraft approaching loses control due distraction, due to over transmitting on the radio. They cited issues in the past with a similar example of a long winded discussion between two pilots with the other starting to get stall symptoms due to confusion and distraction.
Advice was essentially, frequency of calls not a problem, just keep them firm and short. You can get your point across very firmly if need be, without using a lot of language. Don’t enter long winded arguments, debates, questions with multiple back and forth going nowhere etc. I have seen enough arguments over the years into Class G between Pilots, not keen on joining that.
