People pay to use the site and are not guaranteed use of the site?

You've got 'payment for services rendered' confused with 'donations'.

There is a difference.

Actually, there is a distinction without a difference. In either model, when the customers go away so does the money. When that happens, the owner better figure out a way to attract more customers, or reduce the expenses. Business 101.

Oops, you missed the opportunity to make that argument you called those who don't pay "free riders". Not the first one, but you jumped on the bandwagon showing your true colors as did others.

To your point, why donate to a cause that doesn't support you? For years the bannings have occured, it is clear to many that at any time this place will pull support from loyal posters.
