It is perfectly legit, for a person to boycott a store. It is not bullying, in a free society. Those are the tools we have. Boycotts have been used throughout history, as legitimate tools for social progress. It wasn't bullying when blacks boycotted the Montgomery Bus System, because they were forced to sit on the back of the bus. It isn't bullying whn Gays boycott corporations for not providing partner benefits. Boycotts are legit and available to all who have a grievance. In every case of boycott there are those not sympathetic with the cause. But you should refer to people, that peacefully excercize a right as bullies.
