What if your LBS owner was a felon?

[bcipam]

This is an interesting debate and I have to admit some ignorance - I don't know Jock Boyer so I looked him up. I know he was arrested for child molestation. If merely arrested and not convicted, then I would give him the benefit of the doubt (but still would not bring children to his shop). If convicted, and someone please confirm whether or not this is the case, then that would be it for me. Even if there are some "grays" to consider, I would choose on the side of caution and just not visit that LBS. But that's just me.

I also make a concious choice not to patronize certain business for certain practices I consider to be immoral.

Nice thing about this country - I always have a choice!

Back to the debate - I have heard grown men attempt to argue there is nothing wrong with having a sexual realtionship with a 16 year old because the relationship was consentual. Yes I understand there are alot of silly, ignorant girls out there but as an adult, we are burdened with making the choice and we have to say NO, period, just can't go there regardless of how willing the young girl is. AND if in the Boyer case, the girl made up some of the claims, then just don't put yourself in a position to have someone make up claims about you. He did something wrong even if it was to just inappropriately befriend a young girl, then that's still wrong.
