You dont have a point, and ceased to have one quite a few pages back.
I was serious about what I said.

Who said anything about wrong? It was not right or wrong, it was just a poor business move

So, please tell us what this post has to do with the topic?
All I see here is a very weak attempt at a personal attack.

I asked you about 200 posts back if you had JCPs numbers since they hired Ellen.
If you do, kindly post them.
If not, this is merely speculation on your part.

You're not looking in the right place. Or you can't see very well.

Why would you call out the reply as opposed to the initial off-topic post they were replying to? And then call the person replying a child? Seems like a personal attack to me.

The only honest reason is that you agree with the person they were replying to. So you didn't care that their post was off-topic.

x2. Finn_Jarber, let it go. No one should be fired because an extremist minority doesn't like their sexual orientation. And a business like JCP can afford whatever small price there is to pay for not compromising here. Shows good moral sense, and shame on anyone to discourage that in the business world (yes, even casting it off as a "poor business move").

^^precisely.
