Here is the logical progression I'm seeing in Crash99's thinking. Others can chime in if you think I'm right or wrong.

1. I like to do something that annoys others.
2. When others are annoyed, good manners dictate that they be patient about it.
3. It's wrong to not be patient with others.
Therefore...
4. It's wrong for others to tell me not to do the thing that I like to do which I know annoys them.

That's faulty logic, plain and simple. There are 2 truths that tend to come out in these kinds of discussions. The first is the fact that not types of RC flying can co-exist. If you have pattern/circle type planes in the air you can't have that along with hovering in the same space. It just doesn't work because of simple physics. It doesn't mean that 3D or helicopters are bad or that P51 Mustangs are bad; it merely means they can't share the same flying space. The second is the immeasurable value of consideration to others. Before fueling up or arming your battery, consider how others also want to use the flying space too. If there are planes up that you might interfere with, wait. If others are waiting to fly that you might interfere with, take a break when you're done to give them a chance. And if someone bothers you, assume it's accidental and speak to them in a respectful tone about it.

Finding a way to enjoy our hobby together isn't hard. It just takes some maturity and basic problem solving skills.
