You.

If 20 of your friend's are using Whatsapp to communicate just fine, and you demand they change their mode of communication to suit your needs.

I'm starting to see why the trope of techies are anti social is so prevalent. Some of you really are absolutely socially inept.




This is madness, I will say it explicitly, spelt-out.

There exist systems which may violate your privacy, and you think that a possible demand to use them from any third party would be "fair", aproblematic?!

Good normalcy is that if some acquaintance put as a condition any controversial constraint, such as destructive behaviour ("binge drinking" etc.), irresponsible behaviour, degrading behaviour (that spyware is part of this latter) - the reply is simply "No".

And that would be antisocial behaviour, "No, I will not get tattooed (etc.) just because you would like that"?!

Children have replaced Men in this world.

Edit: oh, and by the way: behaviour that would stick to the framework of proper Society would be «[anti-]social»?!?!?! That is a dire reversal terms, and it shows the (satanic) perversity these """societies""" have reached.


I'm not asking them to change their mode of communication with others. I'm just saying that I'm not going to join something that I believe to be harmful out of peer pressure.

> Some of you really are absolutely socially inept.

So if someone tells you "I'm sorry, I am not available at this channel, can we arrange some other method?" and you refuse to accomodate you take the other as socially inept?

It seems like you are projecting. Hard.
