I refuse to help people with installing any versions of windows out of ethical reasons, just like some tattooist refuse to tattoo people in the face or give them similarly stupid tattoos.
Yes, I'm arrogant enough to think I know better than those who haven't considered the issue at all.
It’s fine to refuse to help, but offering your unsolicited opinion on windows instead of helping is just rude.
I think it's a rather human thing to do, explaining oneself when refusing to lend a hand. I also think warning friends, family and those I care for about what I consider dangerous to be quite nice.
I suppose we just have to agree to disagree about how we interact and care for our fellow humans.
