>How often do you even see other device's names?

If it was seen by nobody, it wouldn't be named that way.

And it wouldn't be brought to captain's attention.

Also: there are 300 people on a large flight. A lot of people put their phone in airplane mode, and then have to reconnect their Bluetooth headphones.

>You don't have to see it again.

You don't have to see it once.

The airplane isn't a place for political rallies, and the captain figured that one person seeing this is enough.

>Anyone that is upset enough to start a fight over such a little thing should absolutely be arrested

I agree, and that's what the captain said.

The captain asked for the person to shut that device off.

They didn't. They were willing to start a fight over it.

Whoever reported the stupid Bluetooth name wasn't starting a fight. That was a non-confrontational act.

The captain wasn't starting a fight. He gave an order.

The edgy passenger decided to fight and not comply with the captain's directions.

>That is a person who is mentally insane

Indeed.
