    Well said LW... your line back to her "while she certainly has a right to her opinion, her opinions don't overshadow someone else's freedoms."... bullseye... :yes:

    Agree w/ BAN83, you did the right thing. May want to monitor social media (G+, Yelp, FB, etc.) for any post from this wingnut about her visit to your store.

    That's why she sent it - "holiday misery loves company". You handled it well, best to shrug it off & get on with life, else she wins.

    I would have ignored her. Not worth my time. I wouldn't want her or anyone she associates with as a customer. Can only imagine problems down the line.

    My love has had similar situations in her antique store, one recently right in the open at the counter.

    We have reached a point in time where freedom of speech no longer trumps comfort. It is a sad state of affairs and reflects poorly on how the baby boom generation parented our children.

    It is not only the First Amendment that is under pressure but also the second, fourth and tenth.

    We have perhaps reached a point in history where to many confuse our system and instead wish for a benevolent monarch who will lead them done a primrose path

    That's a good idea CleanFire. In this electronic age she could do a lot of damage to LousyWeather's business.

    I generally refer to people like that as the "thought police".

    Can't believe that she wanted to voice her opinion yet stifle somebody elses?
