You keep focusing on “a person”. I don’t walk into Grease Monkey or Artic Circle and start insulting. I use Arsenic Circle off the premises.

Microslop is behaving in a way that hurts customers. I'd say it's extremely anticonsummer. They are simply being called "microslop". It's like saying "Nintendon't" when you refer to their famous anticonsummer practices. People are not going to microslop discord to call them genocide enablers (which they are) or other stuff. Just microslop because, lately, they only produce slop (proof: windows 11, to name a single one among the lot).

Heh. I guess I’m more used to Barbara and never really listened to Barbra’s music.

Happens. I always saw Barbra (and thought it was a weird name).

I’m saying that if you insult a company on their property then don’t bitch if they kick you out. Just because you are not insulting a specific person doesn’t mean that they have to allow you to behave badly.

The fact is people are not bitching about being kicked out, but laughing about how dumb they are painting themselves over a silly thing that could have died really soon if they just let it be.
