Looking at my subsequent reply to the paraphrased question, I see that
it can be simplified, perhaps answering your objections to my
paraphrase. This paraphrase of your question will do just as well:
The offer of a private contract that one is not party to, that
one is free to accept or decline, and that one is free to
advocate against is presumptively not an outrageous act.
A claim that such an offer is "outrageous" requires a positive
defense to overcome our presumption that the offer is simply
a non-outrageous act.
What is your defense for that outrage? Why is _this_
(BK) contract offer an outrageous one?
In other words, it seems to me that your question is premised on the
presumption that the mere _form_ of a contractual offer (within
certain broad parameters) is, in and of itself, an excuse from
responses of outrage.
I would _guess_ that you still object to the paraphrase. But could
you do us the courtesy of trying to make clear what specifically you
object to?
