But then why SoFurry? Why not Inkbunny? If one is going to say, "you should look to a competitor" why look to one competitor or the other? Why not give all candidates an equal say even if they are not of the two major parties? Isn't this kind of journalism, in practice is the reason we have a two party system in this country? It should purely be up to the people which competitor they go to, not a small group using their platform as a way to influence that decision.
Going back to the example, should they not be going. "Other local blowhorn sellers include Blowhorn City, Blowhorn Inc, and Blowhorn Emporium have not had any recalls this month and will surely benefit from the recent recall." instead of coming out and saying, "You should go to Blowhorn City." That is hardly fair to Blowhorn Inc or Blowhorn Emporium.
There is enough information out there where if they don't like facts that are put up about an organization they know the options they have available to them. Just state the facts, it is up to FA's users to decide whether the facts presented are reason to leave them for a competitor, and it is up to them to pick which competitor gets their usage, not us.
As you said, there is a reason you don't speak about FA. Because you work for a competitor, even if Rakuen doesn't work for SoFurry on has to wonder why he suggested them and not Inkbunny? Was he worried that using that phrase would make it fall back to you?
