Do they not have editors working at Town Hall? This is a bowl of alphabet soup. I would like to share it with people, but though the content is good the presentation is worse than a High School student would do.
Throwing the words Noblesse Oblige into it cuts off at least 50% of the American populace.

Yeah, no.
“Bake me a damned cake!!” is NOT what they are doing. They are not being asked to accept a special commission but to provide an off the shelf product.
This is a common misconception on FR. It is wrong.
Seller/Customer relationship is simple. They point to something on the shelf, you take it down, they give you money, you give them the product, they leave.
A Commission is an Employer/Employee relationship. Which is why you may turn down a commission for any or no reason.
You are not obliged to take a job you do not care to.
Even if they pay you.
You are not a slave.
The moment you are obliged to accept a commission you do become a slave. Which is why I have stood firm from day one on my position and why I get so incredibly annoyed at the meat heads who do not understand the difference between a customer and a client.
It is not semantics or a technicality it is the basis of all freedom. The right to say no.

I don’t think the writer knows what noblesse oblige means. It means the obligations of the nobility. For instance, to go to war for his liege, the sovereign. I would agree if he had said Thomas acts nobly. He is my favorite Justice, but he is not a nobleman or aristocrat, bound by the obligations of his birth,received in exchange for privilege, thank goodness.

Correct . . . and Arlen Specter, for all the rotten things he did during his political career, provided the necessary push to get him confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

If the seller doesn’t have the infrastructure, PayPal provides it. Think things like ebay. Or a one-person craft shop.

I’ve yet to encounter a situation like that. But maybe that’s just me.
