Doing it as punishment or protest, maybe, but there's a huge difference between a personal boycott and an organized one, which is the point I think he's trying to make.

I will say that there have been a few stores that I've decided I'd rather not be back to, but cooled off later and went back for small items. Keeping it on the level of "I'm not going to" instead of "let's all avoid" allows you to keep a cooler head, IMO. People get married to choices made in the public eye because pride makes it hard to change your mind later.
