No, the store has multiple cooperating managers.  Department
managers, if you will.  They work to keep the store operating
smoothly, not to micromanage and second-guess each other.

I assume this is a request for the individual 'managers'
to vote on whether one of them was correct in asking you
to change your behaviour.  If so, be serious.  We, like
the managers in the analogy, have better things to do
than get together to see if one of us should be overridden
for dealing with a situation in which there was a customer
complaint about the guy in the doorway.

So two managers have come by and asked you, nicely, to
abide by the terms of service.  If you refuse, they
might evict you from the store (this mailing list).

What happens next is up to you.  We can let this discussion
drop and get back to talking about licences and OSD
compliance, or you can persist and let the chips fall
where they may.
