You describe aspirations, not expectations.

Fans expectations are neither irrational or unacceptable in any healthy sense I know of. Perhaps you might suggest they might be a little unrealistic or unreasonable but since no one can really predict the future well then that makes all opinions more or less valid.

Irrationality stems from one's lack of clairvoyance. At this point, any circumstance is an assumption governed by wishful thinking rather than an aspiration governed by present events.

You certainly may desire them to hold your opinions but it's not reasonable IMO to expect many to change their opinions to suit you.

I don't
expect anyone to hold an opinion similiar to mine. However, I do
aspire for someone to share the same view as me.

It is a cognitive distortion to label others opinions as stupid. Generally that arises from an unhealthy narcissistic personality.

Perhaps if I called anyone specific stupid. However, I did not address anyone in such a manner. I addressed the very idea as stupid.

Changing expectations are often the result of reality but there is no reason not to have some expectations now, during and after camp. I suspect you would deal better with others if you allow them to think for themselves. Of course I'm now guilty for giving unsolicited advice so please forgive.

You're a hypocrite for saying that. To be critical of my view makes you as narcissistic as you claim me to be. And by making that assumption, it makes your take on the subject irrational. Since it is your opinion of such, I won't demean you by saying it isn't valid. But, I will say it is quite worthless.
