And I suppose that because Bill Gates receives money from other companies and from home users, he should run Microsoft as a democracy, too?

Representative government is only one of the foundations of Western civilization. Private ownership of property is another. I see no conflict between these two.

The issue you try to make of this is simply your lack of distinction between a government protecting your rights and vroom's rights to private enterpise. You have every right not to use this site. vroom has every right to run it as he sees fit. Neither of these rights overrides the other. If you were forced to use this site, things might be different.
