Yes, you can still be nice to people
It is a far stretch to suggest that someone who out of goodwill and gratitude reaches out and is warm and inviting to another must then carry the consequences that such conduct, which is not beyond the ordinary expectation of decent human beings, may trigger a rights claim on the part of the other. This is not tenable and if it were allowed it would be chilling in its effect on ordinary human relations. QG v CS 32200/2020 GP
