My entire point is that you are assuming that they are "eagerly striving to screw the rest of us" when you don't know the guy. It's not your "duty" to deny a ride to a complete stranger.
It's these kinds of comments that lead me to believe that you are a "this is my airplane... you're just here to help" kind of captain that I hate flying with.
