I just get fed up with people and their "only MY wants/needs/desires matter! MINE MINE MINE!" That goes for parents that keep screaming kids in public places and people who want normal-level noisy kids kept away from any possible interaction with them.
I just want to say that i agree with these points.

I don't necessarily have a problem with businesses that exclude children.

I do try to keep my kid from being disruptive, and if it is reasonable to do so i tend to remove my kid from the area if she can't chill out. That being said, if you're the type who can't handle being in the same area as a whiny kid, then you and the whiny kid have a lot in common. The kid has a valid excuse for acting like a baby, what's yours?
