Post #114,976 by admin 8/22/03 5:10:33 PM Reply	Re: Where do you draw the line? Say I finally relent and agree that it is harmless to hold Pokemon tournaments in school. What exactly is not permissible? Run-offs? Advertising? Victory laps? Laughing? Card trading? Why does this argument always come up in response to yet another corporate incursion into publicly funded areas? I don't seem to remember any cases of Harry Potter, Magic The Gathering, Scooby Doo or other trading card clubs getting shot down in court for the same things. I guess I don't see it. How is not allowing the logos of a corporation to be displayed in publicly funded buildings harming the players of those card games? You and a few others equate this with discrimination. I think of it as a sensible precaution. -- And before you get hung-up on the details of the satire: Ban all groups from using schools, or ban none of them. Anything else is discrimination.
