[Antonello]

You seem to not be recognizing the difference between 'supporting', 'acknowledging', and 'opposing' property rights.

I am saying that expressing an objection to a decision because of personal opinions can still allow acknowledgment of the right, but displays a lack of support of the owner to make that decision as he sees fit.

You appear to believe that anything short of an attempt to strip the rights from an owner is support. By that logic, a Jesse Jackson boycott over a perceived (or even manufactured) injustice still qualifies as support for the target's rights.

I don't have any problem seeing the difference.


Bob paints his house pink which Cindy finds ugly. Neighbor Cindy says, "Bob, I can't ask the government to fix this because I support your property right, and I even voted against the house paint requirements referendum, but I know you hate dogs so I am buying a dog as revenge, and I know you like my sister so I am telling her you are a jerk."

Cindy is supporting Bob's property right to paint his house how he likes, and has backed up that support with her vote. She is respecting his right to do so. She is not agreeing that he made a correct decision, and is getting back at him by doing something she knows he hates. Nothing she does in in conflict with respecting and/or supporting his basic property rights.
