Beautifully put if I may say so and I say so as both a glider pilot and a commercial aviator.
I think ATC Watcher was probably trying to say something similar but rather spoiled it by banging on about Ryanair.
I also sometimes have to operate out of airfields which have limited ATC resources and protection and try to be sensible. For example, I will tell my F/O to avoid flying underneath cumulus clouds on a summers day if at all possible for there are likely to be gliders there.
Likewise charging down the leading edge of a wave bar at 250 knots at altitude anywhere near a gliding site is perhaps not the brightest thing to do.
We really should try to understand one another more and stop relying on arcane laws.
