That bad, huh? I'll retract my question/suggestion. It was intended
as a question. Seemed logical.

It is better for some to ignore it, but it won't always be ignored,
nor should it. Moderation organizes the effort into some sort of
authority. Independent (if not libertarian), aviators reflexively
kick back at any authoritarian figure, who tend to 'prove' themselves
by taking more authority.

But if I'm going to spend so much time and money in the air, then you
can be sure I want ordered skies, and to be with those accustomed to
discipline, and not 'free flight'. And think its better to argue with
authority than the uncivilized; though neither argue well. But it's
better to take chances with the former than the latter -- unless the
former is the one organizing the current disturbance. It's
stubbornness suggests as much.
