I think the difference is one says "we don't want to sell our book" and the other says "we don't want to sell your book". Of course it's free market, I don't have a huge issue with either decision, but I think that's the nuance the above poster was getting at.
- BugsJustFindMe 6y agoThat doesn't explain why they think that that detail is germane to this conversation. I bet they wouldn't have a problem with someone saying "I'm ok with my spit in my mouth but not your spit." I get to decide what goes in my mouth, and you get to decide what goes in your mouth, yeah? I don't care whether you want your spit to be in my mouth. We both get to decide for ourselves.
- carlio 6y agoI think the discussion changes slightly if you make your money from allowing people to spit in your mouth though. And allow people to build a business model around the assumption they can continue spitting in your mouth. (this is the strangest HN comment thread I've taken part in)
- BugsJustFindMe 6y agoNot meaningfully. If I let people spit in my mouth for money I still have every right to say "no, not you" because having their spit in my mouth platform affects me emotionally. If people start to assume that my mouth is a free-for-all, those people can fuck all the way off, yeah?
