Sometimes the best way of serving a friend is to advise them when they are
making a mistake.
If W&W were to state their policy re exclusive adverts publicly and Sean
continue with his attack I would support your view of his actions, until
then I have to concede he has a point, even if I agree with you that his
manner of making his point is somewhat less than polite.


No, Don. You don't have it right and you're distorting what I said. I
don't like bullying behaviour and that's the main reason I defended Tim.
I was able to defend Tim because I have had dealings with him which I
felt showed his 'business model', as you grandiosely call it, was not as
you describe.

Besides, this is not Walmart or Tesco we're talking about here. This is
a corner store in glidingland and it's run on a very personal basis.
Tim makes decisions as he goes along as to who he deals with and on what
basis - just like any corner store owner. To call it a 'policy' is too
grand by a country mile.

By now, all of us, including Sean are very well aware of how Tim runs
his business. I intend to continue to deal with him as it seems clear
most others on this forum will do. Sean's continuation with taunting ,
deriding and harassing Tim is simple bullying at this point.

I also think you're plain wrong. At this point, Tim's business is more
helped by Sean's incessant *******ry towards him than harmed by my mild
support.
