And all these things have happened to you?

Sort of, yes. In the country I live, airspace is really crammed,
controlled airspace is permanently growing and over the last few years,
clearances have become harder to get. Our only chance to keep reasonable
soaring possibilities is to be respected as reliable partners. It only
takes one or two cowboys to destroy the work of many years.

Have you compared the number of violations by the mythical "Piper Cub"
which happen every year to the number of violations by gliders?

Who cares?

Have you
examined the faulty logic in advocating an expansion of airspace that is
not respected?

Who cares whether it's logic or not, when it happens?

You also sincerely advocate the mandatory installation of transponders
in ALL air vehicles, whether A380's or balloon-borne lawn chairs, do you
not?

No, and frankly, I can't see any conexion.
