This has been a pretty interesting thread to follow. As I've been reading it, I've been trying to pretend that I'm an "outsider" who doesn't know much about RC. When I put myself in those shoes, I can only come to the conclusion "Wow. People who fly RC are divided into two camps. One camp or RC'ers feels they are above the laws especially when it comes to anti-trespassing laws. Apparently they have the propensity to get violent when told otherwise. The other camp or RC'ers is interested in the forcible or possibly lethal removal of said persons."

In all honesty, after reading the mindset of this thread, I can see why the interest in RC is dwindling. It's too bad that half of us think we can disregard rules and regulations and it's also too bad that others feel they can consider the use of firearms just because someone else hasn't paid some dues. I'm not taking either side here. I'm just looking at the tone a topic such as this has taken. What have we become? What have we done to this hobby?
