There you go, TU. People who refuse to work and play well with others have that right, but can't reasonably expect others to accomodate their lil' fiefdoms.

All I ask is that with all this philosophical emphasis on rights and freedoms, that the attendant responsibilities and possible consequences be acknowledged, as well. As they say, freedom isn't free.

Maybe that's a better approach to all this.
