I think we agree more than we disagree! I agree with you that a lot of them are simply awkward. I&#x27;m trying not to make them into villains, and I apologize for striking a somewhat harsh tone. I think that is deeply unfair as well!<p>Conversations like this are important because, as you say there&#x27;s no authoritative resource on the topic. If we don&#x27;t talk about how to act people will continue to walk around clueless.<p>That being said, if someone&#x27;s boundaries are being crossed it incredibly unfair to say &quot;he isn&#x27;t doing it on purpose, he just doesn&#x27;t know better&quot;. It still sucks to the person who&#x27;s on the receiving end of that, they deserve fair treatment just as much. Unfortunately justice in that sort of situation is going to leave someone hurt, and it&#x27;s better that the hurt person be the person breaking the social contract.
