I see this as analogous to a Moose Lodge or Freemason's meeting hall that is being provided for free by Goatboy. There are many rooms where people gather to discuss different aspects of the AR15/shooting world, and there's a bar (the GD forum). And in that bar, GB gives away free beer for all to enjoy. If you pony up a few bucks, he gives you a higher quality beer. What more could you want?
Now most have a beer or two, hang out, and have a good time just talking and joking a bit. But there are some who just can't or won't control themselves, who get way too drunk, and get self-rightously loud and obnoxious, defying the rules that are posted at the door. Despite repeated friendly and then not-so friendly warnings, they persist. Eventually the bouncer kicks them out. Most rooms stay pretty quiet.
Folks, we have no right to set the rules or determine how they're enforced. If you want to see a heavily moderated (though very informative) site that sets a firm, but friendly tone, try this place:

Want a *very* heavily moderated site, where NONE of this behavior is tolerated, try:
[url]http://tacticalforums.com/[/url]
Want a moderately moderated site that allows VERY wild and wooly discussions (but still no porn), try:
[url]http://subguns.com/[/url]
Along with this site, these are some of the best firearms forums I've found (sorry, homie don't do AK's, so I'm sure there are others out there...). None would allow this kind of behavior.
