    No, the word is "counter-boycott," as in: Even as we're having this conversation, he's busy organizing his church group to stay away from Chic-fil-A, and writing furious letters to the CEO telling him he's facing eternal damnation.

    So did the owner renounce his support for traditional marriage?..that's what launch the failed boycott to begin with.

    All it sounds like is they agreed not to be anti-Gay which they weren't to begin with..so lets see they were making money before the boycott and a lot more money during the boycott and now they'll make even more with the new restaurants they'll open in Chicago sounds like Chick Fl A won the battle and the war. :lol:

    As in you're wrong. Again. Don't you ever get tired of losing arguments to me? When are you going to learn to just not?

    So you think apostle and his cohort are going to buy more Chic-fil-A in protest? That would be equivalent to your voting for Obama, joining A.A., and emailing Tipper Gore to tell her you want to help her stamp out pornography...all in the same week.

    Are a word you got wrong?

    Told your dumb ass before, keep your hands off the goalposts.

    I've quoted the entire exchange so that maybe this time you'll actually read it.

    gul and I were talking about apostle. You barged in with something else. Here, let me break it down for you:

    gul: He [i.e., "apostle"] ate like 20 sandwiches on support chick-fil-a day, causing major artery damage and shortening his life by 5 years. And it was all for nothing!

    garamet: No doubt he [i.e., "apostle"] and his fellows are planning a counter-boycott, however.

    How ya doin' so far, Beav?

    Skin: "counter-boycott" isn't the right word. Buycott is the right word.

    You: No, it isn't.

    Skin: It surely is. *slaps you to the floor with evidence.

    You: So you think (some random shit I never said I thought)?

    And that's where we are now. Skin came in talking about "counter-boycott" being the sloppy, inefficient way to communicate the same idea as the fairly-recently-coined but far more elegant word buycott. Don't go getting old-woman-grease on the goalposts trying to pretend Skin was talking about something else.

    And yet the definition of "buycott" to which you linked described it as buying more of a product in order to support a position one approved of.

    As I noted in post 29, he doesn't have a clue what you meant. So typical skinofjohnlegionrazer stuff.
