Where I draw the line is when someone tries to impose their taste upon others.

My father was in the Air Force, and so often lived on military bases in base 
housing. On one, all the base housing furnishings were selected by the base 
commander's wife. Whether she had good taste or not was irrelevant, all the 
officers' wives *loathed* her picking out their furnishings and imposing it on them.
