Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 6179664" data-attributes="member: 8461">I want to reiterate, before anything else, that there's no objective framework in play here - as I noted before, everyone defines a given action differently, and likewise ranks actions on the deontological tiers as they like. Ergo, the best I can provide you with is my personal reasoning; as with all forms of moral beliefs, you may not agree.In regards to the examples you post, I'm presuming that they're operating in regards to an action of a store owner refusing to sell a particular item or material. In which case, we then attempt to devise what specific action is happening here, and where it ranks. (It should be noted that this can sound an awful lot like trying to determine the motivation of the store owner. It's not, however, simply because we don't know what the owner's motivations are - even if he or she tells us, we can't determine their honesty. Hence, we have to make a judgment call in regards to the nature of the action itself.)Presuming that this was intended to be a question, I'm not sure I understand the policy in question. The legal aspect goes without saying, but the part about them selling materials approved for ages 13 and up suggests that they don't sell materials that are specifically designed for children, which tends to be the opposite of how those sorts of bans usually work (e.g. "we don't sell anything that's only approved for people 17 and up").In each case, the lens through which these scenarios is examined (at least for me) is, "do not suppress someone else's creative expression." As such, all that needs to be answered is if these actions are those, or is another action that simply happens to have the same consequences. Leaving aside that this is my own personal framework, what you think the answers to each of these are? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Then for his sake I hope that he's very widely-read!</blockquote>
