I wouldnt support a site that forces me to only play one table, especially considering its only because the founder can't multitable so is pushing his bias on everyone else.

Absolutely amazing.
To use a fish analogy. There are several lakes in the region, and lots of fisherman. All of the lakes except one are suffering severely from over fishing. All the fisherman have dozens of poles, some nets, and even the odd stick of dynamite.
There is one lake that does not suffer from over fishing. There are no fisherman allowed on it. It is surrounded by a high fence with large quantities of barbed wire. In the early morning, the water is literally roiling with the fish jumping.
One day the keeper of the pristine lake offered some access to the lake. But the fisherman could only use a single pole with a single baited hook. Using the lake was free so long as those conditions were met. The fisherman could fish as long as he wanted, there was no limit.
But the fisherman that frequented the other lakes were incensed. How dare they not be allowed onto to the new lake without their multiple poles, nets, fishfinders, and, in a few cases, their dynamite.
They screamed and cursed and vowed to NEVER set foot onto the new lake.
Oh well.., They wouldn't be missed by those who understood that, to keep a lake well stocked, you must practice restraint, keep greed in check, and not take more from the lake than it can withstand.
So, our enlightened friends spent their days fishing at a leisurely pace, catching and keeping ample quantities of fish, eating well, and getting on with the rest of their lives.
Their compatriots, on the other hand, were spending their days and nights trolling, dragging nets, and blowing up the water in an ever more frenetic attempt to catch the last fish available.
The end.

Your analogy misses in a couple of spots.
First, the fisherman would still figure to catch more fish in the lake with less fish where he could use all of his gear. He may think it's silly to have such a rule in that one particular lake, but so be it. I don't think he would be incensed. But he would have no incentive to leave the lakes he was currently fishing in.
Secondly, he could fish in BOTH LAKES at the SAME TIME, since these are "virtual" lakes on the internets. I'd be happy to play one single table on your site while playing my normal 20-24 at Stars.
Finally, if the fisherman has a large family, or a business, that he is fishing for, he simply won't be able to maintain with a single pole.
