alt Hacker NewsTo make an analogy: Imagine a patron gets banned from ordering alcohol at a particular establishment, because they got too drunk one time.
It's completely reasonable for the establishment to reject a request for an alcoholic drink, and suggest something alcohol-free instead.
It is not reasonable for them to say "sure, here's your alcoholic drink as you requested" and give them an alcohol-free substitute without telling them.
The fact that the patron broke the rules has nothing to do with it.

Your analogy doesn't work because: - they tell you the rules at the entrance of the bar - they totally tell you when they give you a substitute
The only issue is the bartender asking you for your money before serving you the drink really but again, this is known since day 1 by the customers.
