This comment sounds like hearing from a neighbor that I shouldn't
mind if his dog shits on my lawn, because I can easily step over
the shit.
This comparison says, unfortunately, a lot more about you than
about anything else.
On the contrary, it says a lot more about you who choose to put your own agenda above the group dynamic because other people's opinions don't matter to you.
It was a while back now, but there was a time when I lobbied in this group for a slight relaxing of topicality rules - not by breaching those rules, but by inviting discussion, cavassing opinions, and collating them into a show of hands. By an overwhelming majority the group turned me down. I didn't tell them 'to hell with you, I'll discuss what I damn well want to, and if you don't like it, tough cheese'; I accepted the group's decision.
There may well be some subscribers here who remember that discussion and might be prepared to corroborate the above.
Nobody can stop you posting whatever the hell you like here... except you. So the question comes down to whether you are an adult with the capacity for self-control and the will to participate in a way that observes the customs of the people whose company you have sought, or whether you are just a spoiled teenager in an adult's body.
The choice is entirely yours.
