Thanks to this thread, I'll forever look at the AFA with a healthy dose of skepticism.

You do that ... AFTER ... you have read post # 44. Then post your comments.

Attn: Scripter - it seems some folks don't want to give up shopping at Wal-Mart, even if it means supporting a Gay Marriage amendment and all the other ancillary aspects associated with it.

I think it's overwhelming for some folks to put it all together. The AFA is making a very valid point. As I see it, looking at the AFA with skeptism is to have a myopic view of the issues.

Post 44 is irrelevant to my point. Post 44 does nothing to dispute the fact that the AFA article at the top of this thread is either intentionally misleading or unintentionally ridiculous.

Like many online retailers, Wal-Mart has an affiliates program that lets other Web sites sign up with little or no scrutiny. I don't have any particular problem with that. Perhaps I should. But, I wouldn't be surprised if legally, they can't pick and choose who their affiliates are, any more than they can pick and choose who their customers are.

Regardless, thanks to this incident, AFA has lost some credibility with me. From now on, whenever I see any sort of 'warning' from AFA, I'll either go over it with a fine-toothed comb, or I'll ignore the AFA altogether and expect a more credible organization will sound the alarm if the issue is actually worthy of my attention.
