Monocock- After I landed I had an arguement with the man concerned that solved nothing, I was left with the choice of continueing untill someone got punched in the face, or sorting it out with a third party, I went into Dick's office but he wasn't there. So I sat down and had a cup of tea and thought it over. I've been thinking it over ever since, and I still feel that it was completely wrong to blast someone over the radio, its unprofessional at best, sure, if there's a urgent need (in a different situation) to vector an aircraft out of the way then I can accept you might have to let a pilot know they're in the wrong, but this is an A/G station, it is there purely to inform traffic of information such as runway in use and the like, it's not Air traffic Control. I think the man concerned has lost sight of this.
