How did the moron brain-trust at Angie's List think this was gonna turn out for them? That the 1.5% of the population was gonna voluntarily double/triple their subscription payments to make up for all the "mean/hateful" deniers?

Anyone holding ANGI stock should be suing them for Breach of Fiduciary Responsibility.

and remember to never buy a Serta matress (unless you love illegals).

My membership ends within 2 months. They will not see a dime from me again.

All because the company hates religious freedom.

Been with USAA for both insurance and banking for years. Love them.

This is good news - I dropped them right after their nonsense in the Indiana mess.

We canceled and required them to refund the remaining months.

It was enjoyable responding to the lady concerning her question as to why we were canceling. :-)

I used angies list for 3 months to find a roofer. They listed 1 roofer with the highest rating available. The roofer had recently been arrested for failing to complete contracts. The ratings are bogus

There's an irony here. Companies & institutions have been bending over backwards to court the gays, millennials, liberals, etc. yet this demographic has little loyalty. They will simply move on to the next hip thing, or whatever suits their fancy. In the end, most of them disappear.

Most Angie’s list users I know are femanists who believe every make contractor is out to screw them out of their money.

“They never should have got into the Indiana Gay-Marriage debate. ..”

Yup. True Americans don’t like it when businesses want to limit our First Amendment rights.

“I cancelled my membership and was very loud and forceful about it. I let them know exactly why I cancelled, that I was also telling family and friends ..”

THANK YOU.

I found it amazing that one of the higher ups at Angie’s List was on Chris Wallace today and pooh-pooh the fact that Hillary is in negative numbers on the trustworthy factor in the polls. This from a representative of a company whose main point is to provide a trustworthy factor. After hearing her I could no more use her company’s recommendations than I could the word of someone on the street corner.

Oops that was Emily’s list. Wrong list.
