I never said Amazon should be punished. I personally think the antitrust suit against Amazon was silly and should have been thrown out. I was responding directly to DiapDialer's post. I personally believe that Amazon's business model is open to criticism even if you believe they're the best alternative in the marketplace today. They might have good customer service but that doesn't mean they are consumer first in all things.
