Neither. I’m saying that visa and Mastercards opinion on what I’m buying means fuck all to me, it’s none of their fucking business. I don’t care who writes you a letter, posts on face book, what the media says, it’s not their job to police my purchases.

They’d be 100% in the clear just ignoring these people (the kind of morons who have time to cause this kind of trouble either don’t need credit or don’t have a choice in the matter, so no loss of customers), but they decided to interject themselves in a place they don’t belong. So fuck em, and anyone who tries to enforce limitations on the legal things I do via crybaby disingenuous public pressure.

If everyone felt like me, these attempts would fall flat on their face. Sadly, too many sheepish pearl clutching morons.

In your scenario (media pulled it from an echo chamber) I would blame the corporation who decided to make a change - media is (arguably) doing its job (that’s a much bigger discussion), poster was just bitching to like minded people and not trying to force change.
