> People are allowed to be objectionable if they want to.

Isn't that what we (should) have judges for?

I mean, if a judge blindly follows the letter of the law, we can replace him/her by a computer.

But you need some kind of infraction or starting point if you want a judge to consider it.

'They're being objectionable' is not a reasonable starting point. 'They're being fraudulent' would be... but they clearly aren't being fraudulent.
