With so many people up in arms about having morality shoved down their collective throats, this is a very admirable position. He has his morals and stands by them, in the meantime he won't criticize you for your morals nor will he try and force his opinions on you.
Judging by the wording and tone of your post, you could learn a lot from him.

I understand him just fine and iI believe that it's a cop out answer. I do not hold it against people for trying to peacefully stop something that they in their hearts believe is wrong, especially when it has an impact on an another human being's life. Would you say that Martin Luther King should have kept quiet, since he shoved his personal morals down America's throats that "Hey, maybe we should treat people equally?" Would you have admired him more for seeing something wrong but not doing anything about it? We see this as a rediculous answer now since racism is so repugnant, but think 200 years ago when slavery and racism were the more popular choices. How many people then complained about having some city people's morals force fed down their throats? Since the pro-choice movement is popular now, it's "admirable" to not want to go against the popular voice? I'm a worse person for wanting somebody to have a backbone rather than accept what they see as morally wrong? That's the attitude that leads to events that lead to the pizza thread in General Discussion.
EDIT:
I realized there is now a different thread about pizza in General Discussion, I was referring to the one about the fight.
