Please point to me how declaring someone who does not know any better bannable material and I will stop using these terms.

Edit: He showed that he lacked the knowledge about economics (something you yourself are stating in your post) and he showed that he was deficient in his understanding of the subject, acted unwisely, and was tricked by marketing-spiel to think he really was getting a "free lunch". So again, how is this bannable?

Just as Kwaad demonstrated ignorance towards economics, you have demonstrated ignorance towards these terms. In fact, I specifically used these terms because they are not nearly as offensive as other terms which directly insult one's knowledge or judgement. Hell, I'm ingorant when it comes to agricultural sowing and cropping - there's nothing wrong with that.

Edit: Good point; I buy many games second-hand or in "pawn fairs".
