Adrian,
I think the difference is that when radio control came along it did not affect the control line flyers. No restrictions or threats to their opportunity to continue to fly control line. In this case, however, it's clear that the "drone trend" is causing ripples that are now resulting in real restrictions and real future threats to the traditional radio control flyer.
I respect anyone's right to fly their FPV / quadcopter safely as long as what you do doesn't result in restrictions of my rights. Unfortunately that's exactly what is happening. Certainly you can understand why that is irritating.
