"Thank you for flying with the British Airways" would be appropriate I guess

That's the odd feeling some people have.
Instead of considering themselves to be the part of the community and consider the STEM as your own home/ company, they feel like they are some outside saviors.

The same kind of people that ruins the kid's playground in the neighborhood and flip their own garbage can :D

If you don't feel that this is yours until you participate - you're doing it wrong
