Maybe anything remotely political has to be locked.  In my original post, I had stated this:

So, I would have a question: In case of polarizing issues, can a boycott really be effective, or does it just make a company a stronger niche brand and improves its bottom line by creating a stronger identity for itself?  I would ask to focus on the effect of a boycott here, rather than have this turn into a discussion over gay marriage.  I say this request because there is another thread on that subject.  Also, it doesn't help any regarding the issue if people on one side or another are spun as spawns of evil.

 

The main focus of the topic of this thread had to do with whether or not boycotts can be successful, if an issue is divisive, or not.  It looks like it has degenerated.

Anything remotely having to do with Religion or Gay Something will spiral out of control all over the internet.

Apparently not able to discuss the impact of boycotts over divisive issues.

And I also read an Chik-Fil-A shut down a day due to a bomb threat.
