If you don't get that, then there probably is no help for you and you wind up being an impediment to more reasonable people who can make a reasoned argument without losing their temper and allowing it to descend to name calling and emotionalism.

And yes, I ignored your comment about doctors, lawyers, and Indian Chiefs, because that wasn't the argument you are making. You are not claiming to be a doctor, lawyer, or Indian Chief. If you want to extol the virtues of Jet Blue airline pilots, have at it. Claiming that the wages are "horrible" won't pass muster. Claiming they are,es than they ought to be is a far more salable argument.

Being a jerk about it is seldom helpful.
