However, as a diversionary tactic, Tu Quoque can be very effective, since the accuser is put on the defensive, and frequently feels compelled to defend against the accusation.

I guess you're going to use the Tu Quoque method in defending your position and validating your own way of thinking. It seems pretty effective since that's how you've answered everyone since you've posted this.
It's quite simple for me. Live and let live. I don't need to wake up next to you, so your opinion on my lifestyle doesn't matter, the only person who does have that implication to me is my spouse.
