They can ban anyone they like for any reason they like, this is the overwhelming Elf consensus.
But somehow we must pretend bans for violating phoney-baloney make-believe policy are superior in fairness. The cruelty is the point. | ||

Typically most markets exist somewhere in between that spectrum of monopoly and perfect competition. If a market with more than one supplier drifts toward perfect competition then the rule sets of each supplier become one of the differentiating factors from which consumers decide which supplier to get their goods from. If there are several suppliers offering similar products then the culture that goes along with the product becomes one of the features and/or bugs of that particular product line. The consumer ultimately decides which feature set they are looking for amongst similar product lines offered by different suppliers. | |||

The Process Is The Punishment: Handling Cases In A Lower Criminal Court.* By Malcolm M. Feeley. 1979.
>> In the final part of the book, Feeley explains that for defendants it is the cost of the process, and not the outcome, that is paramount. Sentences are usually lenient, with few long jail terms and frequent fines of $25 or less. And defendants are unconcerned with the stigma of conviction or the long-run consequences of a criminal record. The costs of obtaining bail, missing work to attend court, and retaining an attorney are far more severe than the sentence. Defendants plead guilty because it saves them time and money; the costs of asserting due process rights of trial and appeal far outweigh potential benefits. In the marketplace, defendants with a minor purchase seek to minimize their time waiting in line, and pleading guilty opens up the express lane. Feeley's message is clear: once one realizes the high cost of invoking rights, the existence and value of those rights are called into question. Feeley concludes with reflections on the adjudicative ideal and rejects the "heavy-caseload" explanation for the pretrial dispensation of criminal justice. >> | ||

it's nice to watch these holier-than-thou sleazebags melt down when confronted with the consequences of their actions
if they freak out this hard about being temporarily inconvenienced on the elf forums, i can see why they're in a constant state of panic about the very existence of activists despite the fact that they owe their freedom to activists | ||

Life is too short.
Don't listen to negative people. The best way toward fitness is moving every day. Walking with that daily goal of 10,000 steps is a great starting point. Movement is the key. The use it or lose it principle is at play when people age. The best part about walking is that it complements all of the other exercises you do. | ||
