War is a bit strong a term, more a differing of expressed opinion.It is horses for courses. Some folk have a good social network based around the market, 50 years ago my granddad often went to market on a Tuesday and didn't go home until my nan dragged him home on a Wednesday! You and I do not need to be at war Katarina, to a small degree I envy your enjoyment of the market atmosphere, it just turns out my social networks largely lie elsewhere. When I do stay on to see stock sold it can on occasion be the market that is the lonely and depressive place for me... if I get home and get done I can then engage guilt free in the social interactions that excite me more.
