You're a splinter group, and splinters always keep festering until that part of the whole becomes incapacitated, unable to work in coordination with the rest of the whole. Then the paralisis spreads until the whole is unable to defend itself from the creeping crud which will devour everything including splinters.
If that's your choice, then that's your privilege, but that's no reason to be rude in the mean time. Kumbaya, baby, kumbaya.
