Think you totally missed the point of the posts above that talk of crosswind. Most of us have a destination in mind when we're flying a particular location or at least the direction of travel that we would prefer. So turning around an facing another direction is not an option because that may not be where your point of interest is at.

Well, the smile at the end of my message made it clear to "most people" that I was joking.
It's also a tad presumptuous and probably incorrect for you to speak on behalf of "most people". Most of the recreational pilots that I know just want to get out and fly. True that they may have a preferred direction - or even a preferred destination - but they are not so locked to it that they would decide not to fly that day if there was a crosswind. Some would just fly in a different direction - others might drive a mile down the road so that they could still fly to their destination with a more favourable wind.
You may have restrictions as to where you can take off from and what directions you can fly - but I don't think it's accurate to apply those same restrictions to "most people".
Again - as my "smile" was intended to indicate - the post you quoted was meant to be humorous. It appears that I'm not the one that "missed" anything. If you scroll back and look at the 3rd reply to the OP - you'll see that I was one of the first to reply with good, serious advice that has since been echoed/reinforced several times by others offering similar advice.
