For me this is a matter of principle. The trust relationship is being degraded between the upper admin and the merchants. I do not have products elsewhere nor do I own my own brokerage. But where is R'osity without those merchants who do and have helped build this business? These other merchants and artists ARE NOT my competitors. They are my friends and family. If you are going to make them eat in the doghouse because of other affiliations (whilst their money is still used to support this business) then I must say I'm going out to eat in the doghouse with them. It's an illogical and unethical move that wreaks of discrimination and other, possible, underlying agendas. Geeez, ok we'll take your money but you can't sit with us. Take a seat on the back of the bus, buddy but you still have to pay the same fare. Sound familiar? ---Kei
