I am happy so long as seller A can offer product A, |
| 2 |
and seller B can offer product B, and seller C and |
| 3 |
offer product C ... and buyers X and Y can choose |
| 4 |
among them. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I am unhappy when buyer X calls buyer Y evil for |
| 7 |
the decision buyer Y made. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I am also unhappy when buyer X calls sellers he did |
| 10 |
not buy from evil. |
| 11 |

I you agree that slavery is an evil, then calling a |
| 13 |
seller's product slavery-ware is calling the sellers |
| 14 |
product and possibly the seller evil. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So long as freedom of association and contract is maintained |
| 17 |
I do not see the need to call sellers or buyers evil. |

I put prosthetics in the subject rather than proselytizing |
| 20 |
so we can see who responds without reading the article |
| 21 |
all the way through, or at all. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And proselytizing is fine, through perhaps not on this |
| 24 |
forum. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Just don't proselytize via 'Seller A or product A is evil'. |
| 27 |
Better to use product A is better because ... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
On the other hand, if you live in the real world (unlike me) |
| 30 |
you may be best off calling what you do not like evil. Seems |
| 31 |
everyone else does. |
