You are being more than reasonable in your first statement and after all we've been exchanging I'm fairly comfortable in risking you don't even relate with that type of people in your day to day life.

And that was not what I have been talking about.

You have made a life choice. You are free to do so and should be respected for it, even more in your personal space.

Following that, will your choice automatically exclude all the people you know and relate to and with, previous to your changing of life style, even if they respect you and keep wanting to have you as a friend but are not interested in doing the same change in their life?

If the answer is "yes" it is a very harsh outcome and what should be a welcoming philosophy and life style, in my understanding, enters cult and exclusionary territory.
