You certainly have triggered mine. Every instructor I know up here will

There's one FBO in my area where an instructor (or anyone else) would need
to be a little nuts to take the planes into IMC. That part of the OP's
complaint is, at least, somewhat credible (or at least possible; I know
nothing about the FBOs in his neighborhood).
