It would be so nice if you weren't here: see pic
As the summer bears down on us, the anticipation of holidays and family gatherings is not far behind. A reader from Southern California observes that while she looks forward to the joy a family holiday can bring, she also approaches each with some trepidation. "If families get along great, it's all wonderful," she writes.
But, she asks, what if the family doesn't all get along? "What if a Hatfield-McCoy type feud lingers on?"
Even worse, she writes, is when everyone in her household hates one family member so much they want to cut him out of any holiday gatherings in her home.
"How do you really get rid of that person when you grew up with him and you still have deep memories of the good times in the past and the current situation breaks you up inside?" she asks. "It tears your soul and you know that taking that person out of your life holds consequences. Then again, you also know that it will be better to exclude him because life with your current family means more to you than anything."
She aaks: "What do you do in that situation? Someone out there must be going through a similar situation and feeling the same thing."
The reader recognizes that this relative is not perfect. He likes attention and speaks louder than he should. He doesn't take no for an answer. "Above all else, he's confronted me whenever I have asked him to leave."
In the past, the reader has tried before to eliminate the relative from events and, she writes, it made her "a different person inside."
"Is it ethical for people to ask to eliminate a family member from gatherings just because everyone doesn't get along with him?"
Now give your adivice (in one or two paragraphs) and defend your position using a principle you have learned from Utilitarianism (like cost analysis), or a criticism to a Utilitarian position.
