I hate you.

But yes, I will, but it depends on four things:
1. How strongly I feel about the issue.
2. The availability of comparable good/services in my area (and whether I can afford any price jumps).
3. Their response to public accusations/backlash.
4. Other, related parties. For example: it doesn't take much for me to either cut my spending at or boycott a company that donates to Focus on the Family, because James Dobson is a piece of shit and Focus on the Family really is a hate group, and I've felt that way for years.

That said, I voted for "No one is holding these companies back but them." and I think you know why.
