I think the OP was right, but s/h/b more civil. I can't say whether I would have been able to keep my cool either.
The issue of the uninitiated spending more time on the firing line is actually a good thing. I think it means more people are buying guns and getting versed in shooting. My concern is that in much less dangerous situations (e.g. the gun with slide open is on a table at a 45 degree angle) when ROs (or worse, self-appointed ROs) read somebody the riot act, they turn them off from guns and "gun people." I agree it's a fine line.
I was at a public skeet range a few years back while a father sent his kids out in the skeet field, while I was shooting 100' to their left, to pick up unbroken targets. I packed up and left. It was a forest preserve range that is unmanned.
