OK - I did too. My broad point is that all establishments that allow anyone to walk in can't discriminate at the door; but once people are inside, they have no right to remain if they violate the basic conduct standards of that establishment.

I can't go into a Barnes and Noble and howl like a banshee while I look at books. I can't go around berating the clerks for the choice of books and magazines on the shelves. I can't cause a ruckus by accusing everyone in the store of evil ulterior motives because they don't stock the books I want and spend their time pushing the line I like.

Because it's not my store, even though it is a public commercial establishment. I will be asked to behave, then asked to leave, then thrown out.

I see SI very much the same way.
