It is unlikely that proper compliance with an instruction to "go around"
will make a collision imminent or even likely. Following the improper
action that you espouse is more likely to do that. If you do not understand
the procedures or terminologies commonly used at towered airports it would
be best from the standpoint of safety for you to avoid towered airports.

I am perfectly comfortable flying into towered airports (been flying
since 1976, and have lived in a large, metropolitan area most of
my life). I'm not a "rebel" and I do comply with ATC instructions the
vast majority of the time (in case you're wondering, yes... I have
used the "unable" card with ATC on occasion when the situation
warranted it). I'm only pointing out the fact that I'm the PIC of the
aircraft I'm flying and I decide what the safest way is to operate
said aircraft, not ATC. If you still feel the need to quote FARs and
post insulting comments about my ability to fly safely, knock
yourself out....

I apologize for having to point this out, but you can't make others
think exactly the way you do by pressing arguments on usenet....
During your tenure on this good green earth, there just may
be times when others don't agree with what you have to say.
The sooner you learn to live with that fact, the sooner you can
begin to enjoy life (don't sweat the small stuff...).

Be safe, and have a nice flight.
