Hope you are not an instructor - I have made no comment on whether it is good airmanship or not to fly into cloud without a radar service. Indeed for some VFR flights a radar service would be good airmanship. My point is that too often statements are made that are incorrect and as instructors we should not be making them. If the post had said that some form of separation service from other traffic when IMC was good airmanship I would not have raised the issue.
There again one pilot's IMC is not always the same as another pilot's IMC -depending on your speed, type of aircraft and license restrictions - but then you already knew that.
