  •  I don't get it... (none / 0)

    In the above Coffee House example, surely that's a "real" building, engaged in commerce, with a real physical location too.  How is that different than a server sitting in an air conditioned room somewhere?

      Aren't public spaces.  If you stood up in Starbucks and started giving people grief about the DDR, they could kick you out.

      •  dKos is just like a bar (none / 0)

        But, I've gone to lots of bars and had organized meetings where we discussed politics, union actives, candidates and all the same stuff we talk about here and I don't see them being held up as contributers.  And most bars have their own troll rating system that will ban unproductive beople very forcefully.

        I'm not sure, but I think that anything that is open to the public is a public space regardless of who opens the physical property.
