You can do whatever you want. This was not an essay about improvement. It was an essay about being oppressed by the existence of something the author does not approve of, rather like Mike Huckabee having his belief in God oppressed by the very existence of gay marriage.
My overall point is that you do not have a right to go through life living in a world that never gives you offense. You do, however, have the right to walk away from that which offends you. If you choose not to do so, that is on you. Is that a point that geeks are opposed to?
