How are Patreon's actions not an example of differing views and "live and let live"?

It's not like Patreon is lobbying to have them exiled from society.

They're simply not doing business with someone whose gimmick alienates a large swath of Patreon's paying, and potential, user base.

An interesting view point on this, if there was collusion between Patreon and Paypal over what subsequently happened to subscribe star, it could violate anti-trust law.
