One of my first interactions on FT concerned the entitlement issue: In response to one of my early posts in this forum, someone responded with a (not exact quote), I hope you're not also someone who thinks they're entitled, to which I responded that if something was a published benefit or whatever, I in fact was entitled to it and therefore I felt entitled with no apology.

My attitude is that I have earned and paid for my benefits, so I am entitled to feel entitled. The end.
