Something that's depraved. And yes, I know that's vague.

No, they don't, and yes, it is. But I never said they must. If you read my earlier posts in this thread you'll see that my objection is not to their decision but the way they acted on it. They should have given Smashwords a fair chance to arrange for another payment method, not throw them an ultimatum the way they did.
