If you provide your true name and state of residence, your
certificates may be searched on the FAA web site, not to mention what
it would do for your credibility compared to your present pseudonym.

Aside from those who prefer to criticize you, can you provide any
regulatory statute against what occurred on the radio? As far as I
understand, the FAA authorizes (presumably with the concurrence of the
FCC) the self-announcement broadcast of position and intentions by
pilots at non-towered airports as set forth in Advisory Circular
AC90-42F below.

You will note, that it does NOT authorize _two-way_ communication
between aircraft, so it would seem that such _two-way_ communication
may be contrary to FAA policy if not regulation. (That's not to say
that two-way communication between pilots isn't useful at times.) This
is an issue you might consider discussing with the local FSDO
inspector for a more definitive answer (hopefully).

Control Towers

9. SELF-ANNOUNCE POSITION AND/OR INTENTIONS.
a. General. ‘Self-announce” is a procedure whereby pilots
broadcast their position, intended flight activity or ground
operation on the designated CTAF. This procedure is used primarily
at airports which do not have a control tower or an FSS on the
airport.

11. EXAMPLES OF SELF-ANNOUNCE PHRASEOLOGIES. It should be noted
that aircraft operating to or from another nearby airport may be
making self-announce broadcasts on the same UNICOM or MULTICOM
frequency. To help identify one airport from another, the airport
name should be spoken at the beginning and end of each
self-announce transmission.
