The risk is that if a kickback occurs while you are gripping on the work piece, it could pull your hand and arm towards the saw. You will not react quickly enough if a kickback happens. That being said, since the parts are longer, if you are keeping your arm far enough away that a kickback couldn't pull you close enough then I could see the cut being done somewhat safely. Still, I would say that an outfeed table or roller stand is a worthy investment to make long cuts easily and safely.

I'm a cabinet installer, and I use a table saw every day. Do not put your hand anywhere near the saw blade when it is running. Use push sticks and never pull a part through from the back of the saw. If the cuts are getting harder to make, put a new sharp blade. Dull saw blades are the most dangerous and cause most kickbacks. You're smart to respect the dangers but with care and attention you can use them without much risk.

It is a game, and that is why people use it. They don't want to be annoyed learning, and it's just for fun. You seem to think that everyone should do things for the same reason.

I think I don't appreciate pridefulness and the implicit arrogance of people who are overly positive about doing things that are mundane or expected. I might just also be an asshole.

I always reflect on the French, and the retribution they inflicted on thousands of Germans when they were liberated. Eventually the French government had to step in, because the revenge was getting a bit out of hand perhaps.
