Not at all, you're the one that tried to argue with the point I made by suggesting it wasn't true because of the point you are trying to make. I wasn't asking you a question, and your response wasn't required. You can still try to make my comment mean something it doesn't/didn't, and that doesn't/won't ever make it mean something else. You never understood what I posted and how it applies, and now you are stupid enough to tell me I am not listening to you. I never was listening to you, because you don't know what you are talking about, and you are free to move along.
I understand what you are saying, and I am saying you are burdened by the common misconception that the consumer has more sway over the product and process than the producer. A consumer can only buy what the producer produces, and to an extent it doesn't matter how much the consumer wants to buy what the producer isn't producing, much less have any influence over the process the producer may or may not be required to use in producing the product.
What you are talking about is marketing (which is specifically what I meant when I posted "putting a shine on the poop"), and I was talking about consumers thinking they have more control over the product than they actually do. The producer can tell the consumer they did one thing or another, for whatever reason, in order to sell a product, but again, that's marketing and not production.
What I am saying is that no matter how you want to look at it, there is one concrete fact as far as why Colin Keapernick is peddling athletic gear for Nike instead of playing football. That fact is that there isn't an owner out there that wants to hire him to play football.
