Okay I get it. But you were using discriminating as a bad word. What you are describing now is perfectly acceptable and there is nothing wrong with iy. As somebody already pointed out discrimination is every place. Have you ever looked at a restaurant and decided you don't like the looks so you don't want to eat there? You are discriminating. So using the word that way it's not a bad thing.
I was not using it as a good or bad word. Good or bad depends on your perspective.
In the above example, if I was the promoter of the Harley event from my perspective I'm doing good because I think most people that come to my event think 2002 Harley Fat Boys suck and therefor I don't want them around cluttering up the "really cool Harleys" at my nice event.
Beyond that, you just traveled 800 miles to come to my event and when you go to sign in I tell you "sorry, 2002 Fat Boys suck, now get out of here."
Then you say, But Turtle, I read about your event online and it said nothing about Fat Boys not being allowed. You go on to say you just traveled 800 miles to come to Turtles cool event and now your telling me I can't participate?
I tell you, yep, your bike sucks now get lost before other "cool Harley riders" see that thing out in front of my event and leave.
From my perspective I'm discriminating against you in a good way.
Tell me about your perspective if this had happen to you. How would you feel? Is this a good use of discrimination or a bad use of it?
