It is only when receiving money you can affect the validity of that payment, you can refuse to send them the alpaca socks they "paid" for using invalid address outputs.

That makes sense. When you accept Bitcoin payments and run your own node, you vote for the rules that your own node enforces.

But to me it looks like people think just running a node is like voting for the rules on that node. Even if you do not do any business.
