wow this forum is run by a tone-deaf libertarian to everyone who says this is just a matter of his opinion, that his opinion shouldn't make a difference, yadda yadda.... if it were as simple as it being as insignificant as an opinion, that would be a complete different story. it's not like the gym kicked him out for disliking pineapple, or thinking the color yellow is obnoxious, or enjoying the star wars prequels (sorry nerds) the whole "its just his opinion" argument gets thrown out when you see the things he has done to propagate his opinion. this is not just 'his opinion,' it is a culmination of his work at the local and national levels. this man has done his part in influencing members of our society, and that work must be acknowledged when discussing whether or not it was just a "matter of opinion" and here's my personal opinion, not what i believe should be law (well, deep down maybe, but i won't say it) but what i believe should be a rule of society - opinions and ideologies that actively seek to harm any group of people, should not be taken seriously at any level and should be condemned at all levels. |

We're not talking about public institutions here. Strip out the hyperbole from Badspot's posts and there's not much left. I'm still not sure why this guy getting kicked out is a bad thing. |
