Dumb business sense. Directron.com politics.

Directron.com, Inc., Houston, Texas.

They're not some sissified Kalifornia or North Eastern company. Here in Texas we're actually pro war😀

[/end thread]

 
Well if the people who say "support our troops, not the war" really mean it, they shouldn't have a problem, as long as there's not a message of intent I missed. That said, it is a bit tasteless, and if it came down to the deciding factor in a purchase, it would definitely sway me towards the other supplier.

Damn straight!

And it don't matter WHAT war, WHERE, or with WHO!!
 
You'll find a lot of companies in Texas are extremely supportive of our troops, openly so. I know ours decided to pay all of the premiums (100%) for medical for any employees actively serving, so their families didn't have to worry while they were away.

"Hey Bob, I've got a great idea. Let's make the T in our logo into a grave. That would sell more pc crap I bet!"

Directron has been a good source for PC cases, mods and other stuff you don't usually find on newegg or mwave. So it's always worth checking them out.

As for the cross shapped T, the designer is SO FIRED lol.

What if I knew someone killed by a soldier in the war? What if I have a relative that served and died in a war our family considers unjust? (Rhetorical questions, don't bother answering them.) 😕

The message is political. Basic business sense tells you to remain neutral, or ambiguously supportive in political matters. You're more likely to lose a customer in this scenario than you are to gain one.

Making a grave marker out of the "T" is also pretty morbid. I don't shop directron to be reminded of death, thanks. I've seen enough of that sh!t in real life- I don't need my computer supplier to beat me over the head with it.

Do I get to look forward to a rainbow logo when gay pride week rolls around?

They have a right to serve whoever they want. Maybe they don't want to serve your type? Regardless, it's just a logo you fruitcake.

Do you boycott google when they modify their logo for certain holidays?

well there are companies that just don't give a flying f!$K. I just ordered somethig from directron yesterday and did not even notice the logo. Kind of like Chick fil-a. They close on sundays to to religious reason. Not good business sense for a food company that has mall locations. But their values are more important than the $$$ lost.

I boycot chick-fil-a not because they are closed Sunday, but because they stuffed several religious flyers (PAY $80 to see blah blah talk about Jesus and the New Christian Man!") in my bag one day. It was particularly offensive, because they smelled strongly of ink, and were nestled in with my fries. A slightly unscrupulous lawyer could have had a field day with it.

Actually it wasn't the flyer that initiated the boycott, but the lack of apology when I emailed corporate about it and complained.

I calculate it's cost them over $600 gross by now. Pity, because them's some damn good sandwiches and fries.
