Seems to me that some people fail consistently to understand other peoples viewpoints or, if the viewpoint is explained simply ignore it - because they like to demonstrate their ignorance and intolerance.

If someone expresses a reason to use cloak mode and you don't share that reasoning, that does not make the reason invalid.

Some people have said that cloak mode gives them a sense of security. "What security? How security?" goes up the cry. "Prove it."

That's missing the point. If someone says they feel more secure being cloaked then that in itself is enough. Respect it. Who are you to tell them that they are wrong to feel that way?
