Listening to your version he sounds like a bad guy.

I am a new FO, and I hope I never get put anywhere near that position.

Being part 121, barring a suicidal pilot, I wont be taking the controls over, but I think I could be pushed into making a very terse statement for the CVR, while asking the captain to reconsider.

Worst story I heard was about a Air Midwest captain in a Beech 1900, who in total VMC, was heading directly for an isolated TS. ATC told him he should divert for weather, and before the FO could respond, he told the FO "They paid for a ride, they're gonna get a ride". He then made a beeline for the cell.

Wow... that is bad.
I guess my biggest pet peeve would be people who act indifferently towards the safety of the flight.... if that makes any sense. I don't think I will ever see this sort of thing again.... so I will take this as a good learning lesson and move on.
