Once again you haven't read the post correctly and base your comments on what you thought you read.
Of course the Laws don't say that both opponents must participate, it doesn't even say any players must participate. Just drop the ball, but you can't leave out the opposing player if he/she wants to participate. By dropping the ball without inviting both players to take part is wrong and against the spirit of the laws. You are changing the outcome by dropping it to the keeper Yes it is common practice but that doesn't make it correct. You can't force a player to be a good sport about this but 99% of the time it will be that way. You show no faith in the game nor it's players and feel that you must control the play because the players won't play the way you want them to. Go ahead and keep doing things the way you are, close your mind to the game and others. It will turn around and bite you in the butt one day. Keep thinking that you are correct all the time. Players, coaches, spectators and officials love that.
Good bye here too!!!
