Fwiw, this sort of thing is hardly new. In the end, everyone has a choice. Site owners can set their rules and then the people they work with can continue to choose to do so or not.
Regardless of whether people think it's right or wrong, it's their site, their rules.
Ultimately, there's other sites to work with if one or more sites choose not to work with you.
That all said, I will say I have a tendency to dig in my heels when faced with an ultimatum. I'm pretty stubborn that way -- and sometimes to my detriment. I could see me spending a pile of money just to up the compete level if I were given an ultimatum. My competitive nature would kick into overdrive.
Anyway, good luck to all involved. I've dealt with a few people in this thread, including the OP, TPD and IWP and always found them reasonable to work with.
