You're right, it's an imperfect analogy.
Let's say, instead: Barnes and Noble decides they only want to sell non-fiction books.
Sure, it's arbitrary, and it's probably bad business, but: it's their store.
Now, suppose you are a fiction writer.
Still going to throw that hissy fit?

- ghshephard 17y agoThat's an excellent analogy. Those of us who prefer science based books would go elsewhere, while those who loved the comforting and protected "Creationist" environment would find a good home at B&N. Science Based authors aren't owed a living by B&N, and would have to sell their books elsewhere.
