Anyone willing to start a fight over a tacky WiFi name should be committed. Seriously, what an insane thing to do. It's such an easy thing to not be bothered by. It sits in the background, invisible, and you're... just letting it live rent free in your head? There's so many more annoying things to flying than someone's dumb personal hotspot name.

Can we just recognize how crazy of a scenario this is?

People are not rational. Or at least one cannot assume they are when it comes to safety.

People start actual fights over small groups of other people, that neither of them know personally, who are chasing after a ball on a pitch.

    So what's your argument? We all act crazy because crazy people might exist? That's just as crazy as being afraid of terrorists.

    Why would you let the crazy people run the world. If they're that crazy you put them in a hospital because clearly they need help

      The argument is that if I'm responsible for the safety of a very heterogenous group of people in the cabin of my airplane, I will assume that those people are already stressed and will probably act even less rational than they normally would. And that's all that matters in that moment.

      Oh believe me, I would if I could...

Even more you have to actively seek it out to even see it. These people are looking for ways to get triggered.

    It really seems like people in the threads are doing the exact same thing.

    The only argument they are making is that you shouldn't be allowed to make you're device's name <Something Politically Tacky> because... it might make unstable and irrational people upset.

    Why the fuck are we protecting unstable and irrational people? Punish them? What is so difficult about this? Seriously

Do people get kicked out for offensive t-shirts and tattoos? How about bad cologne, good cologne, bad BO, or just for being so ugly that it's offensive?
