I never said anything about social (in)equality. All I was doing was answering his questions. ... and yes it IS discrimination.

I did not state that discrimination is always bad, in fact I showed an example when it is good and necessary. Discrimination does not always equal social (in)justice. The real issue is why the library was being discriminatory. What was their reasoning and thought process (and I doubt we will ever, truly, be told).
