There are surely others that disagree with us both and love the taunting-the-opponent stuff. So with that having been said, I don't see any need to call name-call as "old farts" & "Karens" those with whom you - hopefully, respectfully, but perhaps not - disagree.

Wasn't an attempt at name calling or insult. I call myself an old fart. What it is is a descriptive term to call attention to the attitude behind the rule.

Why would people peacefully BBQ'ing in the park get anyone so annoyed that they would call the police? Why would someone removing his helmet ruin a person's day so badly they felt the need to change the rulebook? It's the same problem. If it doesn't change the meter one iota in my life, why bother? Just move on to something else. Look away. Let it be. It's no wonder the world is so polarized and distant. Cause we let small inconsequential crud bunch up our panties and feel our comfort level has to be enforced on others. Who wants to be around people who think like that? I sure don't. Let me be me. Let you be you. I don't have to like it. I can just get on with my life.
