I don't think you've understood what I'm asking for. You've characterised her argument as "people shouldn't do something because someone else believes its harmful". I'm asking you where you get the idea from that this is her argument; I'm not asking whether you think her behaviour is harmful, and that therefore she shouldn't engage in it.
It doesn't matter what her argument is, and especially in light of that, what you're asking for, if it's not an argument that it IS harmful, with some facts to support it. That doesn't countenance wibble such as its being harmful to the social fabric. Both you and she know what you and she can do with the putative social fabric; if it's yours, too, well, whoop-de-doo. Declare your bona fides coming in the door. If it's just muscle for muscle, fuck it, entirely, because hooting about what someone else has not understood is not to demonstrate that the failure of understanding is his fault.
