Yeah idk. Maybe it's the tone of stuff like "it would incur undue hardship" (re indoor temps) that comes across to me as a bit holier than thou and makes the rest of your first paragraph seem more self-centered.

I plainly stated that society should not bow to my needs and that those who contribute to society and are a part of society are more important than me, what more do you want?

I know, I know. Look, I'm sorry for nitpicking.

I actually agree with the idea of having a lower footprint, reducing, etc. I think you're doing a good thing, and I hope you stay safe at sea.

We all get hung up on such things on occasion, realizing it is probably better than never doing it.
