I hate responses that are only emoticons.
It tells me that someone can't defend their position.
I said that Milo's book is in high demand based on preorders. The cancelling of the book is a disruption of the free market as there is now a disruption in the supply that has nothing to do with organic supply and demand.
I never brought up the 1st Amemdment as it doesn't apply.
Can you address what I said with something more than an emoticon or should I just assume you can't handle a debate?

No, this is the free market at work. Simon and schuster didn't want to be associated with an author that appears to advocate for pedophilia ( or if you want to mince terms hebephilia). They did this as consumers might elect to not buy their books if they kept this association. This is a rational decision on their part, and consumers do yield power to force their hands. If you don't like their decision, don't buy their books, maybe they will change their mind.
Conservatives love the concept of boycotts until they result in something they don't like.

Disruption of the free market? The publisher is under no obligation to publish anything. This has nothing to do with supply or demand. This isn't an economics discussion. It's simply a business decision on the part of the publisher.
If you want to make it an economics discussion: If the demand is high enough, market will work itself out and another publisher will pick up the book. If no one touches the book then that's the market's way of saying that the green wasn't worth the potential for negative pub.
