Dear Mr. Miner,

Well, maybe. My wife and son were banned for life from A Taste of Heaven in the sweetest possible language by Mr. McCauley himself before the sign was posted. (They undoubtedly have the distinction of being at least partially responsible for its appearance.) My son had been disruptive, and as my wife, a longtime customer, was taking him out of the store she stopped to tell Mr. McCauley how glad she was that he had moved his store into the neighborhood. He responded by very politely asking them never to come back to his store. The details are almost beside the point now, as they provide enough ammunition for either side to continue what has essentially turned into an opportunity for people to rant. A lot of ink has been spilled, and many opinions voiced, on this story, none of which seems to me to have led to much clarity.
