I don't speak for all or any other FReepers...and you shouldn't either.

Did it ever cross your mind that there are many folks, including myself, that do not wear their charitable contributions on their sleeves - and choose NOT to list what they do in terms of monetary or time or in-kind donations?

I understand what you are saying about Target's position, however you are really going about it the wrong way. You are making blanket statements about a group of people, most of whom you do not know. You should not talk about hypocrisy when you do not have all the facts.

I'm not talking about all freepers- just the freepers who have jumped in on every target thread (there have probably been at least 20 in the last few weeks) and cry boycott first, facts be damned.

I'm making 'blanket' statements because there is a lockstep mentality that the minute a business does something they don't like, the first step is to announce that they are going to boycott, and any attempt to inject facts into the situation is met with derision and worse.

Go back and do a search for target threads- you'll see the same behavior over and over and over from them. The boycott brigade has earned their blanket well.
