Thomas, I see your point. Let's take it to an extreme. I am a pilot
flying a parachute equipped plane. I have to use an airports
facilities really, really bad. I see an airport under me. I decide
the best way down is to deploy the parachute so that the leather seats
are not ruined. The plane is destroyed but it was my call and my call
alone that my course of action was right.

You have no right to respond negatively to my course of action because
only I and I alone was there to assess all the factors involved.

Well, your decision to pull the handle was yours and yours alone to make.
Once you did it, there was no going back. If you don't share your true
reason, we won't be able to point and laugh. On the other hand, if there is
a formal investigation into the condition of the airplane, it may be
discerned that nothing was wrong.

Of course, your scenario elides the (probably) quicker way to get to those
facilities -- flying the airplane onto the runway and taxiing to the FBO,
but you had a point to make...

However, I will say that I was an idiot.

Well...you know yourself best...

yours,
Michael
