Because someone, somewhere, might be enjoying themselves.

That just doesn't sit well with some folks.

I’m not talking until I see which side Eric Blair is on.

Precisely! I love how FReepers boil issues down in the first post or five.

Beyond that, see this C.S. Lewis quote that I keep handy on my FR profile page:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

In this case, it doesn’t even matter if it really isn’t “bad” for the user, all that matters is that the do-gooder thinks that it is.
