Well I understand that you are angry but it still doesn’t make any sense. If the guy worked at Walmart and you decided not to shop there and made your reasons known, then you would have to shop somewhere else (less convenient) perhaps more expensive. This would result in your actions against the person costing you more money (cutting off your nose to despite your face so to speak). Even if you drove to another town to shop at that Walmart you would still be supporting the company that hired him and I doubt they would let him go because he use to work with children.
What do you expect to be accomplished? It seems like you may get some satisfaction out of not shopping at that particular place, maybe feeling like you are denying them your business. I guess I could see your point, but the only person who knows about it is you and if that makes you happy.
That’s all that counts, right?

And for me, you are right, that is all that matters. And yes, it may sound crazy to you. But in my experience I have found that sometimes the quietest voices are the ones that are heard the loudest.

Ursus:
At its best, boycotting a business for personal or political reasons ends up being a community affair, and said business may well adjust or rethink its hiring or investing strategy in order to continue doing business in said community.
However, in this particular case, we are not exactly dealing with someone who was one of the small handful of top dogs... or are we? I honestly don't know. I would hate for this guy to be stigmatized or ostracized if, in fact, he was one of the few faculty who regretted and was disgusted by his employment at Hidden Lake, and who, if anything, was genuinely on the kids' side.
On the other hand, maybe he wasn't.
I personally do not know, and I don't live in Georgia. But, just thought I'd mention it...

You are right, I am unsure about exactly what happened with his employment at HLA, and really unsure about how long he was even there. I have been doing frantic Googling and other searches with no results. Any ideas on how I could find out this information? I would truly hate to go in "half cocked" as I apparently already have done in this thread...
