I support this rule as it offers a more fair market to all. 
As an individual investor I will always support rules that ultimately aim to create fair competition. Additionally, the removal of "middle men" promotes competition to offer the best price available between all trading parties.  
Monopolies, as I feel we can all agree, are damaging to our economic systems and this rule will reduce the likelihood of this type of behavior. 
Ultimately, the systems, while they are complex in their working environment, should not be complex in their understanding and intuitiveness, because of this we should take any opportunity we can to simplify and make sense of these systems that are a benefit to the fairness of our markets and their participants.
