You can stop there. You don't know much about the gambling industry, defending them was just an opportunity to tell us your opinions on "some people", none of whom are actually here.
Yes, my comment wasn't about online casinos but about the people who think they have a right to tell others how to live their lives. I'm not defending the gambling industry, I think gambling is stupid. I'm defending the right of the people to make their own decisions.
My "defense of the gambling industry" was just me pointing out that as long as something isn't inherently nonconsensual and the terms and conditions are clear there is no reason to forbid other people from doing it just because you disagree with it.
Nobody in this thread has forbidden anyone from doing anything. If you want a soapbox for your irrelevant opinions, start a blog.
Who's "~~they~~ the people"? I don't know much about ~~the gambling industry~~ the internet but if it's anything like any other ~~industry~~ place then it's not a centralized monolith but many independent ~~business~~ people.
