This idea makes me smile some. A true man of principle - there are so few.
While buckets of folks have been posturing like crazy about this, I have
doubted their principles would survive their first desire to go back there.
Top marks Richie :-)

Much pain, suffering and general immorality in the world has been caused as a
result of men standing by their principles. The moral and ethical significance
lies in the content of the principles, not the rigorousness of their adherence.
More specifically, if a principle amounts to “inconvenience to both the buyer
and administration is an acceptable way to bring about improvements for the
seller”, then as a buyer I’m less than impressed...
Actually Richie, you weren’t a buyer were you? A buyer boycotting a store
because it removed a seller who was inconveniencing both buyers and admin as a
matter of principle - well, now that’s kind of amusing :-)
Cheers,
