People can read into it whatever they want. I was just stating a fact.

Personally I’m perturbed that so many people expect society to work out of goodwill and not through enforced regulations decided by the voters.

Certainly that world would be nice, but it’s naive and ineffective

I don't think people downvote you because we "expect society to work out of goodwill and not through enforced regulations decided by the voters", but because your blanket statmenet denying the existince of moral requirements is interpreted negatively. I for one agree that relying just on morals is not enough and that regulations is needed, but your sentence is obviously not universally interpreted in that light.
