""Blacklisting"?

I'm not sure how that practice has anything to do with Sol coordinating a house concert."

Charlie, either I did not explain myself correctly or you were not paying attention. You took this on a completely wrong tangent and I suggest you re-read the comments I made after I related the story. This has nothing to do with comparing it to a blacklist.

My comment was directed at the idea of "liberal" that has been thrown about here. More people are expressing outrage that someone would show a display disagreeing with a performer whose politics 99% of us agree with.

Would you give someone their money back if they became ill or had another reason to leave? Is your policy consistent - or is the decision based on disagreement with their political stance? The point is being even handed, and if you follow through with your policy for all cases, you have no issues.
