Boycott - To abstain, either as an individual or a group, from using, buying, or dealing with someone or some organization as an expression of protest.

For me those last words, “as an expression of protest” are important. For me there’s no protest and thus no boycott. The upset caused me to try Canadian products. I like them better.

California senators don’t get to tell me what to buy. Framing it as a “boycott” is just wrong, at least where I live. We have American booze on the shelves. I just don’t want to buy American garbage anymore so I’m not doing it.

Yeah. What am I supposed to do with these burls?

What if there’s a … um … protuberance on the bottom where the branch meets the trunk? What’s the correct measuring procedure in that case?
