I am not speaking to any particular person when I say:

When one joins a group, one tends to follow the practices of that group.
That applies whether it's a country, a club, or a list.  Claims that you
behave differently elsewhere are invalid because different groups have
different behaviours.  You'll fit in better if you adapt.  If you feel
that strongly against a group view, perhaps you shouldn't be in that
group.
