Re: QVC statement

That's quite frankly nothing more than a generic statement, drummed up by their marketing department, designed to draw you in, make you feel warm and fuzzy about them, and get you to continue buying from them. I've seen similar statements on a number of other websites. Don't be naive and fall for it.

I am not a fan of these statements.

When I get the emails and see these things they all seem forced. Disingenuous at best.

Statements like this are to let people know where they stand, and there is nothing wrong with that, because silence = acceptance.

Disagree with silence=acceptance.

Individuals would still buy.

It is policy validation and public relations propaganda.

@Anonymous032819 I beg to differ. Silence does not mean acceptance. Action was taken and the people will be dealt with by the court system. It does not mean that everyone else has to bend over backwards in the other direction, when they themselves have done nothing, said nothing, and felt nothing that would be offensive.

It's a start, and if it rings a bell with even just a few people, it will have served some purpose.

It's better than nothing, and it really doesn't hurt anyone.

I find self-promoting sanctimony very tiresome and I delete these things the second they hit my in-box. It may be cynical of me, but I view this as just a way of capitalizing on the current and historic pain of others and giving the speaker a stamp of approval. In that sense, it's deeply disrespectful.

The statement is at the top of the website for everyone to see. I don't know why it had to be copied on the forum.

ITA no need to repost this to the forum as will only turn political and get deleted. Anyone can find & read it.

This kind of stuff is an empty gesture. Anybody can write an essay, or wear a tshirt, or send an email.

I rarely look at the home page.

I think QVC should just stick to its business model and follow its own rules that it has applied to these forums which Is don't bring up these subjects.
