First vulgarity has no place in discourse; it is the refuse of the challenged. In my post there was no statement, or implied imposition, pertaining to where someone should conduct their consumer transactions. I wanted to ascertain, if there was some litmus test or standard to be applied, or was being applied, as to where people were conducting their shopping activities, and if there were standards, or a litmus test, if it was being applied in a consistent manner.

This is just one in a long series of threads, addressing various retailers, and other consumer marketers in which some litmus test, though not clearly defined, a derived standard was being applied to conducting business with these various retailers. Target on this thread, any many other threads, Wal-Mart on several others, along with the varied assortment of grocers, auto-stores in which the constructed purpose and continuing dialogue was to use economic boycott to implement change at the particular retailer-dejour. If such standards exist, can they be defined and applied consistently. I merely wanted to be informed which retailers meet these standards, or litmus test.

Freedom of choice, thank a Vet.

Personal choice by people takes precendence over you wanting things defined. Freedom of choice by each individual makes the difference, not some catch phrasing you wish spelled out. I am a vet, so you are welocme.
