<the majority of these lines are dreadful>

I think that you might want to go a bit easy on the "majority rules"
stuff.  The complaint is similar to objecting to inhaling the results of
other peoples health-destroying habits.  The minorities have rights
to be protected from incursions by the majority.

Whatever you want to do to yourself in private is fine by me, but
when it affects someone else, the matter becomes radically more
complicated.

By the way, the original flame implied nothing about inflicting his
own preferences on other people, merely being very tired of being
constantly afflicted by something he did not care for.

Noise polution is as bad as air polution.
