Corporations get to define themselves. They can also dissolve and reform. Can an "Elbonian" do the same?

"Collective punishment" applied to a corporation is called a boycott and I see zero problem with consumers expressing their preference in this way. Zero.



> "Collective punishment" applied to a corporation is called a boycott

I think that's not the usual meaning of 'collective punishment'. I believe that term is usually applied when many people are subjected to punishment in retaliation for the deeds of one person (or of only a few), not when one person (or corporation) is subjected to punishment by many people.
