RTTY ers don't usually read the QRP pages for frequency useage
They probably read the ARRL pages for this

It is a conflict and the two entities ought to straighten it out


Its to the point where the last few days even operating CW on 40 has
been a waste. Twice tonight 20+ minutes into two different QSO's had
RTTY coming right on top..... Guess they couldn't hear that the freq
was already in use (ya right!)

Thanks to hard work and efforts of the ARRL, new Ham's don't have to know
CW anymore. So these RTTY OM's probably didn't know they were QRM'ing
anyone. These new ARRL approved "CB'er type Ham's", are good at jamming
and causing all sorts of problems on the bands just like you can hear on
11
meters.

The ARRL does have a plan to help solve conflicts like this to reduce
future problems, but it hasn't been proposed to the FCC yet:

Anyone caught showing any sign of inteligence, using CW, or not acting
like
an all around dumb ass, should be fined and have their license revoked.

I think you have a handle on the situation.
