I affirm everything everything I have said on this very subject over the last couple of years. My objection to this feature remains, as do the rather well developed reasons I have for my position.
I can understand people having different preferences and I am able to handle not getting my own way but I am not going to abandon my preference simply because social factors make satisfying it beyond my power. That is a common fallacy of thought (or useful mammalian adaptation) that I am aware of and want to avoid. I prefer to acknowledge that the state of the universe is not desirable, acknowledge that I am unable to change it (or that doing so is impractical) and yet still be able to accept things as they are without emotional distress.
