You were closer meself! :)   

I thought I was fairly clear before I mentioned that story. The basis of this entire thread is not about a "political fallout" - Sol is asking for his opinion on how it was handled.

My mention of that story showed how Oscar Brand displayed an even handed approach to a request that effected his "business" - a radio show.

Sol had a request, and I do believe he also employed the same even handed approach in what was good for his "business" - a concert series.

Again, my point is to everyone that felt it is an easy decision. Are you consistent?   Would you treat other requests for refunds with the same standard.

That becomes closer to what the true definition of "liberal" is all about. It is beyond politics.
