ethics, i.e. the discussion of rights, is a branch of philosophy.
ideally, it should inform the people who are writing and enforcing state laws,
but these days -- sadly -- it has precious little to do with state laws. and i
think you're the one here who conflates the two.

i've asked you this before, and i'll keep asking it: sure, accommodate, but to
what extent? what is a reasonable cost i can incur on others? (see the
discussion of negative vs. positive rights in this context)
what if i declare that i only feel accommodated here if everyone attaches the
local weather forcast to each mail they send to guix-devel?
the limit of your demands begins where it starts to constrain the freedom of
others. considering this is an essential part of respectful behavior towards
others.
