I said by people not purchasing gasoline (oil) from said companies, could be seen as "boycotting international trade" - something I wasn't doing. My VW needs gas just like your Audi does and I need to get places via car.

Turned out, the mass SPAM e-mail that was going around was filled with false information from some misinformed individual which the link I provided showed.
