@kev
We read it as you saying 'colour purple bad'.

Boycotting something for a colour choice is not a strategy we would use.

Each to their own, though. 😊

@dsfgs well that’s a misunderstanding on your part. I haven’t been boycotting anything…

Maybe boycott is the incorrect term, but semantics aside you effectively 'ruled out' Startpage due to the purple.

@dsfgs this is an utterly useless and idiotic conversation. You’re cherrypicking parts of my comments then adding your own commentary. I’m done.

Its reads like you dismiss it based on colour.
