*I* think it's morally wrong, and I never said it was some objective measure, to decide you're not going to trade with someone simply because you disagree with them. But it's his business. That's just my internal opinion. Excuse me if the language I typed out led you to believe otherwise. I'm allowed to think he's a cock for doing it, and so is PZ, and I'm allowed to think PZ is an asswipe for not forgiving him on even a basic level.
None of those people were causing him any harm, or his customers, or his business. His reaction was out of prejudice and disrespectful towards another human being for an utterly irrational reason. My morals call for compassion, empathy and forgiveness - my subjective moral code. "Getting along" benefits humanity - I consider that justification enough - and you don't have to necessarily agree with a person to do it. Silly, because it's a gelato store, but if it were a privately owned hospital? You turn people away because it's your establishment and you happen to disagree with them on some point? I find that repugnant.
