Because they are nice people who are willing to make concessions to accommodate others, finding a compromise that doesn't particularly upset anyone, even when they have the right not to do that? Ok, that's not what happened in this case, but I'm sure they are still nice people who just had a bad day.

Why would you make concessions to a society that didn't make concessions to nerds? Arguably the tax money paid by those workers did more to pay for that field than the tax money from the kids, but even setting that aside, I am tired of being told constantly to play well with others, when they don't play well with us.

If I come back from vacation and find that a squatter has broken into my home, should I find an accommodation with him? Compromise on living arrangements? There is no moral obligation to compromise in the case where one party is flagrantly violating the social contract.

And if the squatter had reserved your home to which you'd asserted rights through an informal but generations-long local accepted social arrangement, via some new app you don't have, and a distant home and residence government agency?
