Because what we do when certain response-systems are on "hurt" other people. Sometimes really physically hurt people. But let's say that's not an issue, what we say or do can "hurt" other people's feelings. And so they object.
I tend to think more like you, why can't people accept each other and communicate when they have a problem and people can work it out? But the drones seem to prefer if everybody just behaves the same and follows the same rules. It's kind of simpler for the drones. It was like that in the 1950's, when I learned to "behave" and be a "good girl", and lose the real me in the process. That caused problems, like the one I had. Then came the 1960's and things were "get real" but that was too much for other people and now the pendulum has swung back -- so far back that it may change again. But, for now, it looks pretty grim.
