I think my original intent was missed...
I'm not draconian about NO lights, but be reasonable about it.
I try to use it as little as possible. Most of the time I can change eels, tie knots and move w/o but I understand we need lights... I dont have super powers, I was just putting a PSA out to:
A. inform people (especially if they were lurking) to keep lights out of others eyes
B. Let people know a light around the neck is a lot easier to control then on the head...
C. let people know night vision is real; less light use at night makes it easier to see the rest of the time!!!

that being said, last night, I saw the double light... partner hooked up, angler and partners headlight on, PLUS handheld flashlight shining on the fish half the fight...
For a 32" bass.....

Not draconian?

Your thread is entitled "Turn you freaking lights OFF!"

I'd say the misspelling as well as unecessary use of the CAPS LOCK key clearly indicate this was more than a PSA, it was a hasty rant to vent your own internalized suffering as a fisherman and place blame on the shoulders of those around you.
