I don't think it is wrong to give someone the type of support they ask for rather than insisting upon doing that which they have repeatedly said they do not want. It seems disrespectful to me to ignore someones express request and instead continue doing that which has been asked to cease.

And in my jurisdiction - your second statement is simply not true across the board. I don't know the laws of Eden's jurisdiction as it is a whole other country from mine - but where I practice, what you said is not the case.
