Wow, what extreme reactions on the negative side. It sounds a lot like smokers being angry at no smoking laws for bars.

There are two issues: 1) Whether a business has the right to limit what goes on in that business (and a worthy debate that is); and 2) How serious your addiction might be if it provokes that much anger.

Step away from the keyboard.

Well, I think the smokers are angry because the gov't in some places has stepped in and made it illegal to smoke at any bar. That's quite different than a coffee shops deciding to not allow laptops in their particular store.
