Forgive me Lon, but you may have meant PA28 rather than PA24...
Reminds me of those two weeks spent with BA at the end of my CATC course, when we got let loose in a 767-300 sim. Says the training captain, "remember, it's just a big Cherokee." I wanted to reply "sure, but I've only soloed in a C152..."
Anyway, back to Bearcat's original rant and following taking home of his ball, it is entirely possible that the instructing controller let things get out of hand, but it's equally possible that something was going on to prevent expedition (flow control, etc) which just wasn't communicated well enough from the tower. Without knowing what it was that annoyed Bearcat, it's hard to comment with any authority.
So, come on Bearcat, tell us what actually happened and we'll stick our collective teeth into it.
