I appreciate your thoughtful and well reasoned response

Look, I get that you think doing yoga and drinking beer is dumb. Guess what? So do I. (Well maybe not the drinking beer part) But clearly some people like it and I just don’t see the point in making fun of them for enjoying their hobbies. It’s a weird jump from there for you to imply that I would endorse an authoritarian response. I was simply suggesting (admittedly somewhat snarkily) that you could easily just leave it alone and allow people to spend their own time doing the things which they enjoy that happen to cause no harm or any impact at all on your life. That you would suppose my reaction would be one of authoritarianism (which I never would have even thought up) says a lot more about you than it does about me…

What a strange thing to say.

Sometimes it’s possible to just think a thing and then move on. You should try it out. You don’t have to always say it out loud or put it in writing.

Travesty? That’s laying it on a little thick.

Yes I can’t possibly imagine why anyone would be rude to this person who seems to be nothing but a shining ray of light and positivity
