Message: <blockquote data-quote="jaerdaph" data-source="post: 5400938" data-attributes="member: 3398">I've never seen a game store do that, but there was a window installation store in my old neighborhood in NYC where the proprietor clearly had political leanings that were not those of the vast majority of the community. He decorated his store in political posters and signs (nasty, mudslinging "goat-getting" signs) year round like it was Christmas and election years were worse. I never had a reason to go in there, but if I did I wouldn't have done business with him and found another dealer. He finally toned it down after his store front was seriously vandalized once (which I don't approve of either and if I had seen who had done it I would have reported it to the police). On the other hand, I have stopped doing business with a few national corporations that donate to politicians and causes I don't support. But you can't cut everyone out of your life just because they have different political views - I have close family and friends with different politics than mine - because politics is only one facet of what makes a person who they are. In that same neighborhood in NYC, there was a bar restaurant where the owner had the same politics as the window store owner, but you never would have known that unless you asked and were in deep conversation. He even used to throw a hell of a catered party for our local city politicians - mostly from the opposite political party of his own - on election nights and it was a fun community event. I still consider this gentleman one of my friends and can talk for hours about our New York Yankees with him until the cows come home. There really is great wisdom in the old saying, "never talk politics or religion at the dinner table". And "Don't s**t where you eat."<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/glasses.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt="B-)" title="Glasses    B-)" data-shortname="B-)" /></blockquote>
