You clearly stated there's nothing on the website from the group who created it telling people to boycott the businesses mentioned
Actually you stated that, I didn't. I did read some of the comments stating people were going to "never do business", etc.
So why would you expect them to admit it when they've already stated verbally several times that's not their intention?
The only possible use for the list is to steer people towards the nice and away from the naughty. From the comments, that is clearly what people are doing with the information.
Then clearly, you have no place discussing this issue when you admit you have no knowledge of reading the complaints on the website. Nice try!
The comment content has no bearing on my point That said, I have now read much of the cover page. It doesn't change my argument on iota, however it did provide evidence the list is being used by people to boycott businesses and publicly spread the word about which ones are bad and which are good.
