| Tactical Nuke:
let me just add that businesses have and should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason, however if you blow things super out of proportion and start a crusade against a business because they do that (or did that to you) then you're a richard |
| PhantOS:
Being able to refuse customers for personal reasons is objectively bad because the government loses out on sales tax every time a customer is refused service. The whole free market refuse who you want bullstuff is flawed on multiple levels since businesses are commercial spaces built on public land. It's objectively bad for the customer being refused and objectively bad for the economy. However, if a customer is acting a fool then it's objectively good to remove them from the property, since their bad behavior is going to affect other customers' ability to receive service. Regulations like these are put in place for the best interest of everybody involved |

Take financial consumer protection regulations for example. Implemented to stop 'over selling' of financial products, especially in instances where the goods don't meet the needs of the customer. They're now 'objectively bad' because they're preventing some sales. |

The vast majority of the population is not tribal or xenophobic, and the people who are attacked for being xenophobic are probably just regular Americans who are concerned for America more than immigrants and other countries, and that's not xenophobic. |

--- Quote from: Rednakin on May 23, 2017, 01:38:00 PM ---I mean if you can't control who you provide services to because any control could bring about racial segregation, should you stop moderating the forum then? If someone is being an starfish and spamming the forum, we should just tolerate that because banning them would set a precedent that any private forum admin can ban you from their forum because you behaved in a way the admin arbitrarily decided was wrong? --- End quote --- Not a comparable situation. Spencer didn't do anything to disrupt the gym. The equivalent on the forum would be if someone on was minding their own business posting about Blockland and I banned them because of a completely unrelated post they made on another forum. Legal or not, it's morally wrong to use your power as a business owner to attempt to police all aspects of your customer's lives. |
