Cutting in front of someone on final, whether under orders or
voluntary, is never safe nor courteous.

I don't see how following a controller's instructions is discourteous

The controller's instructions put both the 172 and I on a course that
-- in the controller's opinion -- was going to cause a collision on
the runway. This is why he sent me around, after clearing me to
land.

You don't find this unusual?

Perhaps, but not nearly as unusual as some things I've experienced at
uncontrolled fields. I suspect that your experience is a multiple of mine,
so it made me wonder why it was so noteworthy as to warrant such a rant
about Class D fields.

Which, of course, is the point of this entire thread.

This thread seemed more like an aero version of "road rage" to me.
In a newsgroup with a lot of folks seeking to learn, that can't be a
Good Thing.

"Road rage"? What are you *talking* about?

I'm talking about your notions of landing short over the plane on the
runway. Why would such notions even cross your mind? Sorry, I thought
you'd understand that analogy. ;-)

No one was angry, no one
raised their voice, and nothing unsafe happened. This is simply a
discussion of a very unusual event. If there's any "rage" being felt
here, it must be yours.

Why on Earth would I have any "rage" over YOUR experience? Please. As I
wrote in an earlier reply, if I were in that situation, the controller
would not have had to tell me to go around. I asked some questions of you
because it's pretty obvious that YOU had a problem with that experience,
and I wondered why, and still do.
