Maybe he didn't feel like talking to you. Or, maybe he was busy. IFR takes priority over VFR. Maybe he was working several positions combined. Maybe he was fatigued. Getting mad at him won't help your cause. Peace out.

I went and saw the Statue of Limitations when I was seven on a family vacation, it was awesome. I got a little toy statue to bring home and it still sits on my dresser.

A lot of these feds are our fellow pilots...reading these baords for the exact same reason we do. Don't know what spurs them to act though.

OJ,

What does the statue look like? I have been searching the baords, but I can not find a picture? Help a brother out...

I guess in the end, we're all human; but we must never forget the amount of faith travelers put in pilots when they step on a plane.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I guess when you think about it, travelers don't really see Pilots as humans: they're more or less appear as some type of super-beings that are incapable of making mistakes...Maybe they just think that because they don't want to think about the fact that the person they just entrusted their life to is actually human.
