You can pretend whatever you want to pretend. We don't mind at all. You CANNOT force others to pretend along with you because the facts matter. You don't want to be forced to live in reality. We are not forcing you to do that. So stop forcing us to pretend with you.
We are tolerant and OK with your imagination.
You owe us the same respect.
You need to be kindly tolerant of our decision to live in reality. It's wrong for YOU to offend our choices.
