Interference with the Affairs of Others is Utterly Unnecessary and Stupid

Interfering with the private or personal affairs of others has become a socially and politically fashionable trend in the Australia. Whether you critique the beliefs of another culture, political group or religion, or, make a statement about how hard or annoying you find another to be, you are sure to have someone reprimand you for doing so as if it was a demonic evil thing you were doing. I've had that happen to me before. Forget about whether the person is in a position to understand what you are saying, it is absolutely patronising. It is also insulting when the person does not understand the framework from which you operate and they criticise you for being "intolerant", "bigoted" or being "unhelpful". The legitimate critiques people make are a private affair and need no reprimanding, and therefore unnecessary.

The only criticism that deserve criticism for being criticism are the ones that attempt to stop itself from being critiqued.
