You are quite literally saying "I want to exist in a vacuum", and that is just not reality. Let's use a thought experiment. You are the neighborhood's mechanic

You are quite literally saying "I want to exist in a vacuum", and that is just not reality.
Let's use a thought experiment. You are the neighborhood's mechanic, and you do small jobs for everybody - bikes, cars, trailers. Now, your next door neighbor has been throwing dog shit on your lawn, started kicking down your mailbox in the morning, set fire to your hedge during the night.
So you say, hey, asshole, I'm not fixing your bikes anymore. In fact, you want people to acknowledge what an asshole your neighbor is when you fix their bikes. But then, nigma1337 comes along, and says, "bikes don't have anything to do with your dispute, you should still fix his bikes, and I don't want to acknowledge anything!", and that's just absurd, man.
- nigma1337 5y agoThat is a very good thought experiment, but i think this situation is more like me, as a mechanic going "Hey toxik, if you want me to continue to fix your bike, sign here that i'm right in my dispute against my neighbor and he is bad", while I agree, i'd prefer not to be dragged into it/reminded of it everywhere I go.
