All you have to say is: “I dont care. I will still give them my money because I can still feel good if I just dont think about it.
It’s your choice, but dont act like people here need to be shamed in order to give you cover.
And yet, this is a public forum, where most people are choosing to voice their decision not to patronize a company, simply because they don't toe the accepted party line. Bert likewise, is voicing his opinion, correctly pointing out the purists hatred directed at CFA.
It's you who is trying to shame "bert", by basically trying to tell him to shut up or toe the party line.
“And yet, this is a public forum, where most people are choosing to voice their decision not to patronize a company, simply because they don’t toe the accepted party line. “
So? That has nothing to do with what I said.
Like I will repeat. Go keep giving them your business. If none of those things people are leaving them over meet your standards as a reason to, then just say so. Dont scream at us like we are the dumb ones and erect strawmen.
If you are embarrassed about it, then that’s not my problem. But it is your money, so go have your sandwich.
