He's never once said that people should only live his way.
His posts about minding one's business relate to interpersonal interactions between humans, and refraining from stealing, hitting, killing, raping, etc.
Where you diverge from this uncontroversial stance is when he consistently applies it to govt., because unlike pickle, there are certain instances in which you find certain behavior (i.e. crossing arbitrarily drawn lines) to be inappropriate and you want the govt to enforce against it.
Go ahead and disengage. If you think "mind your own business" = authoritarian, then there is nowhere to go in this discussion.
