Bless you, iSm. It's been difficult to articulate, mostly because I knew their actions stunk, and went beyond the pale of a regular boycott. Several times I was going to post that in some instances, boycotts have achieved great things when all else has failed, such as the transportation boycotts initiated by Rosa Park's arrest. (I didn't because I didn't feel like arguing that view and the one I am currently defending concurrently). What AFA is doing stinks to high hell, and it just didn't seem to me like it was either ethical or entirely legal. I never said that what Ford was doing was illegal- I said AFA and their ilk are doing should be illegal. Ford deserves nothing but scorn for caving in to these blackmailer's demands.
