[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous]I read the story about this in the WaPo.  I agree that the professor should have been kicked out, too -- you shouldn't yell at patrons.  That said, a private gym has the right to exclude Nazis if they want to.[/quote]
The gym certainly has the right to do it. I just don't understand why they did it.  Before long, Right-wingers will have to establish private gyms exclusively for Right-wingers.[/quote]

OP, right-wingers are welcome at any gym.  Richard Spencer is not "a right-winger".

I think the gym could have taken a courageous stand and kept him on.  However, their business model is increasing the number of satisfied gym-goers, not reducing it.  So they kicked out the problematic gym-goer.  [/quote]
Right. I agree it's the right move from a business prospective. Where do you draw the line though? Let's say Pat Buchanan worked out at a gym, and was confronted by someone. Do you think he should be booted out? How do you decide who's welcome and who's not?[/quote]

Someone that calls for ethnic cleansing. Out.

It's not difficult. Really. [/quote]
When Spencer says "ethnic cleansing", he's not talking about killing minorities. He's talking about moving them to an area away from whites.(he's a "white separatist")  I totally disagree with him on this, but just trying to clarify his position. [/quote]
It already happen in Europe. Nazis were not talking about killing Jews, they moved them to area away from aryans. To Warsaw ghetto, for instance. You remember what happened next, do you? [/quote]
Right. As I've said, I am NOT a fan of Spencer.  His views are wacky, I don't disagree there.  My issue is with how this gym does things. They allowed him to become a member(I'm sure they knew what he believed back then) Then when this confrontation happens, he gets booted out. Why did they allow him to join in the first place? It's clear why they kicked him out, business. I don't think that's a good reason to kick him out, but I certainly understand it. [/quote]
