[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1722051, member: 2189"] I would agree. It's a form of mass peer pressure to either think my way or else. It's a direct assault if you will on free thought. Stop selling a product as we think it wrong or there could be consequences. We demand mass unity of thought or else. That is one way to see it and you'd not be wrong either. But business can be a murky endeavor at times and its nature just requires it to go along with the mass flow of what seems a noisy majority. I don't blame some fictional "ban" opon said businesses as even our own UPS plays the appearance game in areas that benefit them. If at some point it appears good business to not ship so-called confederate flags, I'm sure UPS would choose good business over the principle of free thought all day long and twice on Sunday. If they were to do this, how many of you would quit your jobs in protest of principle? [/QUOTE]
