I agree with the vast majority of this opinion piece, however: in one paragraph it states that policing peoples thoughts is abhorrent, and in another paragragh it states one should be OK with shooting people for their thoughts.
Nazis in Normandy were an occupying force waging a war of aggresson and comitting human rights violations. Modern American nazis are just a**holes with their heads lodged, we should shoot them? If and when they become violent prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law sure, but to espouse idealogical violence is dangerous, extreme thinking.

Unfortunately with an unreceptive store owner you'll have to take matters into your own hands. As one of the above posters stated, don't attend FNM anymore.
To take it a step further, quit buying cards from this store. Take a trip to that store two hours away, buy a box of boosters and draft at home(or some other appropriate venue). Take a large chunk of this LGS's income away for one month and see if the owner notices. It sounds like the owner doesn't want to lose income from even one player, see how he feels losing income from all the other players. The problem is that the store owner thinks he has a monopoly on MTG in the area, and he doesn't think any of you all will change your behavior and spending habits. In which case he has no incentive to care. If enough of his customers vanish, he may take action against the offending player.
If that seems like too much effort, a funny thing you all could do is get every other player to just concede every time they get paired up with the problem player. I know giving that player wins seems counter intuitive, over time the player will get it that no one wants to play with them(maybe/hopefully). While people like prizes, I think that playing the game comes first.
Either way if you want change at your LGS and the owner is unwilling to change, it's going to take some effort on the part of a majority of the other players.
No I don’t mean another Mythic from another set.
Say I choose Urza’s Saga block, instead of four rares from that block and a Mythic Rare from a future set, I just get five rares from Saga block. This way all my cards are from the same sets.
I also go to E-bay now and again, if you're smart about it, it's OK.
ABUGames is very reputable, but their prices are not competitive. You can always count on them with quality.
At one point they changed “cast” to “play”, for some silly reason.
“Onto the Battlefield” used to be worded “put into play”. This became annoying for seasoned players and outright confusing to new ones. So then WOTC changed to the current phrasing. Older cards however, still end up in the mix. Meddling Mage is one of those cards that needs a reprint with correct template.
Funny, I started playing in August of '94, up in Seattle I might add, and I never really encountered anyone playing lands up front during my formative years playing. Not until much later on did I run across the phenomenon. The whole playing lands up front as the norm seems to have changed fairly early on.
