I wasn't even talking to you or responding to one of your posts. How you can infer that "[your] stance was summarily dismissed as brand loyalty" is a beyond me. You seem to have somehow taken away a "every positive post about Amazon means the poster can't think for themselves" vibe from my post when I was actually saying something like "the sheer volume of pro-Amazon and lack of contra-Amazon sentiment here implies a pervasive bias".

I maintain that there is a very one-sided view of Amazon here and I strongly believe that this has in part to do with the fact that Amazon is great for its customers and we're reluctant to pass judgement on a company that we buy from. Ergo my "if Amazon is good for me, then Amazon's enemies must be wrong" line of reasoning.

And if you re-read my original post, you'll notice that I did not advocate boycotting Amazon and that I used "we" when talking about Amazon's customers. I am one of those, too, you know.

The only one doing any "summarily dismissing" to a specific person in this exchange was you. *shrug*
