    Please identify that controlled airspace and state which of the items of paragraph 5−6−1.a. apply.

    Frequency change when departing D

    The ATC order does not permit ATC to initiate vectoring of, or assignment of altitudes, to VFR aircraft operating in airspace where the separation of VFR aircraft is not required by ATC.

    Who was showing common sense there?

    That "argument" assumes the FAA wants pilots to obey instructions that it does not want controllers to issue. It's absurd.

    You stated that if a pilot chooses to be in communication with ATC the pilot is then actually required to follow ATC instructions. No such requirement exists.

    ATC is required to initiate a search whenever there is an unexpected loss of radar contact and radio communications, IFR or VFR. I've observed many aircraft change to 1200 codes as they left Class C airspace. I'd call them, there was rarely a response.

    Yes. I'm not mistaken, your understanding is incorrect.

    You may choose to do that but the radar controller cannot require you to do that.

    How would that alter your initial call to the tower?

    They can't hold you on frequency. You're operating VFR in airspace that does not require you to be on that frequency.

    Yes, if you can comply with FAR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes:General.

    It matters at night.

    Class G

    I assume you're asking about an IMC flight solely in Class G airspace. It's legal. You must comply with all applicable FARs. Compliance is not possible where controlled airspace begins at 1200' AGL or lower due to FARs 91.177 and 91.179. Even then you must have VMC before descending below...

    There's no such unwritten rule and your statements run counter to advisory publications.
