That's another sub-text from some of these people: "If people are feeling unwelcome/uncomfortable about being in the gaming community because of bad behavior, and they decide not to participate, that's too bad but it's their choice. They could just tough it out if they really cared. But to ban the people who are driving them away is taking away their rights."
Sorry, but given the choice between those two things, I'm all for weeding out the jerks. The jerks got their way for the first 40 years of the hobby. Time for a change.
As someone who's been on the receiving end of this kind of behaviour to the point of deciding to entirely avoid FLGSs and conventions, can I just say "Thank You."
