I prefer the DM have the ability to sit down and talk to his players about how they feel and what kind of game everyone wants to have. You know... reasonable.
Oh thats not a problem at all but, from what I got out of your posts if the DM disallows things then he is on a powertrip and if you invest a lot of time and money in something then it should be allowed.

Disallowing one or two things no. I just direct that statement at you specifically.
So you limit the DM to what he can and cannot allow?
Since I play in RPGA, yes. Official RPGA rules says everything is legal.

Evidently he is, seeing as he mentioned it 
So yes, he is talking about RPGA. Besides him? Nobody else thus far!

Simple if the dm is going to disallow things then he is going to be tyranical in other ways. A good dm does not restrict character options too often.

This is so wrong...
Lets deconstruct this:
Simple if the dm is going to disallow things
So if a DM says no in any way then...
then he is going to be tyranical in other ways.
which is then followed by:
A good dm does not restrict character options too often.
Define too often, is it only when it doenst apply to you will?

Sure, you could play with just the three base core rule books. But don't come back here griping that "there aren't enough options".
Spoiler:

Of the two approaches to hobby games today, one is best defined as the realism-simulation school and the other as the game school. AD&D is assuredly an adherent of the latter school. It does not stress any realism (in the author's opinon an absurd effort at best considering the topic!).
It does little to attempt to simulate anything either. (AD&D) is first and foremost a game for the fun and enjoyment of those who seek the use of imagination and creativity....
In all cases, however, the reader should understand that AD&D is designed to be an amusing and diverting pastime, something which an fill a few hours or consume endless days, as the participants desire, but in no case something to be taken too seriously.
For fun, excitement and captivating fantasy, AD&D is unsurpassed.As a realistic simulation of things from the realm of make-believe or even as a reflection of midieval or ancient warfare or culture or society, it can be deemed only a dismal failure. Readers who seek the later must search elsewhere. - Gary Gygax. 1e DMG.

More than one race or class on a permanent basis nothing should be banned permanently. In one campaign no one could start as an eladrin because they were unknown in that area that is really the ONLY reason Id accept restriction on material. DMs who restrict things are generally lacking in flexibility and imagination.

No only ones that restrict access to material. Those that do are being tyranical.
