Lil (can I call you Lil?), you seem a little out of sorts when someone makes a suggestion and/or comment about the benefits of a controlled environment versus Class G, aerodrome, etc.
By your comments, does that mean that the president of your union (or mine) needs to have worked at every unit to represent his/ her members appropriately? I'm pretty sure most of the exec of this corporation never worked, much less visited, all the facilities of this marvelous country of ours. But, much to your chagrin, no doubt, they run the company.
Like it or not, a controlled airport provides a safer environment for IFR training flights. When you are under the hood for the first time, I would like to think that the student/instructor feels a little bit of reassurance in a tower/ACC controller keeping an eye on the big picture and making the final decision if a couple of A/C's have a disagreement of 'who got there first'.
You are absolutely right. IFR flights do operate in uncontrolled environments. You are also correct that FSS provide an advisory service for traffic at certain aerodromes. But you have to agree that an FSS station at a site does not constitute a controlled environment. Advisories, suggestions, etc. are not control decisions.
Eye, hold me
I think I'm a gonna get an FSSmackdown! 
On a final note......
Lil, just because you post a comment/slag/smackdown/flame on every thread does not make you an expert on all/any of them. It does, however, put you in the front running for the Chairman's Award for Excellence in the category of - Most Angry Employee. Your rage, negativity, angst, is a shining beacon to everyone considering a career as a Flight Service Specialist. Hopefully, the company can sponser you on a tour of all facilities to bring this attitude nationwide.
Sheesh............
