This is a long-standing disagreement between you and I. You analogize this with places where each individual is invited in, and I analogize it with places that are still private, but where anyone is invited in, regardless of who they are, as long as they don't cause problems. Perhaps I see it more like a large store in a large town, and you see it as a very small store in a very small town. >In Rolf's case, he's been reasonable for a month in r.g.c.c and it seems >reasonable to offer him the opportunity to be reasonable here.
