It is unfortunate that drone hobbyists feel the need to lecture pilots about how they are at fault and how they should be more accommodating.
Many of these guys have never been in a helicopter nor understand the environment and risks, yet they feel qualified to opine.
Resorting to the typical cliche's of drones are no different to birds. They are quite different, though can have a similar end result.
Your appreciation of risk changes when you realise that the worst that happens with a broken drone is buying a new one, where the consequences are slightly more serious for those operating further and faster above terra firma.
It's a pity more don't take the opportunity to learn about the environment rather than constantly defending poor discipline and flouting of regulations.
