Anyone want to jump in where corps will actually change how they do business? So what have they been doing up to now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I support my friends and don’t care if others go or not) I did not see anyone calling you a big boycott fan, or anything of the sort. And it would be incorrect to do so. A big boycott fan would be someone who does try to involve family/friends in the boycott, promotes specific boycotts, and/or promotes the general concept of boycotting as "free market". I asked you questions to try and gain more understanding about the practice. It has immediate relevance to drum corps, as the threat remains of DCI being boycotted by various factions over the actions of one man (starts with Hop, ends with Kins). For that matter, every time the woodwind topic comes up, we have fans who say they will not continue going to shows if that change is made. Inevitably, someone pushes back about how cruel and misdirected it would be to punish the kids because you disagree with what the adults did... as if it is a boycott. And then I have to explain that in my case, it would not be a boycott at all. No protest, no spite, no attempt to involve others... simply a lack of interest on my part. Funny how people so often assume my departure would be out of spite. Something you said about people thinking they can "read your mind after a few posts" really nailed it there.

Why ask someone who doesn’t participate or try to lead others in boycotts to gain understanding about them?

Why ask someone who doesn’t participate in boycotts to gain understanding about them? Definition of boycott (courtesy of Cambridge English Dictionary) is "to refuse to buy a product or take part in an activity as a way of expressing strong disapproval". I thought you said you were refusing to buy Chick-Fil-A products because of your strong disapproval of views expressed by the company owner. That is what you meant by this, right?

He’s allowed to say what he wants and I’m allowed to make sure he doesn’t get any of my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also said multiple times I refuse to eat there because of the owners anti-gay views. Reason being I have gay friends and I stick up for my friends. What else needs to be said?
