Otherwise, I decide how much to accommodate others based on "my rights." Maybe that's wrong, but that's where I agree with you, kitty. If it's really important to me, then all bets are off. For instance, I will not isolate my dog from public places because someone might be allergic. Nor will I isolate my pets if someone with allergies comes to the house.
And the peanut thing... On a recent flight, it was announced that nothing with peanuts would be served because there was one person on board with an allergy. One person in a plane of 250 passengers. Ridiculous. Restrict the people in his row.

The other side is …
Several months ago my son asked the people in the seats in front of them to please not open a bag of peanut products because his one son traveling with him is highly allergic to peanuts. They seemed highly upset that they couldn’t eat their food in the plane during the short flight.
Now, he will not take either of his sons flying because he doesn’t want to create a scene on the plane. The safety of his one son who is highly allergic to peanuts is paramount and he doesn’t want that son to feel bad because of a condition he can’t control.
