This is the traditional definition of the word:

To abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, or dealing with as an expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion.

I don't think anyone is trying to coerce Bethesda, we just think they suck.

Yet the definition I posted is still a valid, and works in the way we are using it.

No, because your definition fails to put any constraints on why you are avoiding something.

Someone doesn't have a TV so they are boycotting Blu-Ray.

A war vet lost his legs so he is boycotting shoes.

Someone doesn't like peanuts so they are boycotting Peanut M&Ms.

Somoene doesn't know how to use the English language, so they are boycotting the rational use of definitions on the VGChartz forums.

See how silly your definition sounds?

 

I give that post a 9.0.
