116. I find this piling on distasteful and puzzling. The poster gave pertinent
information, a statement of fact, about the authority pilots have over their plane. However he or she is being attacked for not condemning the action, with the inference that he or she is a bigot. To demand people to express outrage and 'prove' their liberal credentials as it were is preposterous.

Everyone should be able to state a fact without being attacked for not sharing a personal opinion. I find this if-your-not-for-us-your-against-us mentality 'Bushian' if not Orwellian.
