...sometimes, when you have a platform. Also, if you're in the upstairs apartment from a couple that engage in domestic abuse, do you not have a moral obligation to SAY SOMETHING?

For the record: You all have the right to your opinions, to your convictions, your opinions. Your religion. So does everyone else. Opinions are like sphincters. Everyone's got them and sometimes they stink.
At no point should one person's opinion EVER be of greater importance than another person's health, or their ENTIRE LIFE. A twenty year or more financial/lifestyle/time-and-energy obligation is not something that you can force on a person any more than you can sentence someone to life in jail for say, eating shrimp.
My rights end where yours begin. Yours end where mine begin. Where they conflict, we need to try and live with each other, but if it comes to someone's comfort versus someone's entire life? Nuff said.
