Jim Turner recommends that I get a refund from Intuit and then stop
complaining about their corporate abuse. Paying me a refund has no impact in
Intuit. Publicly complaining might have an impact. Jim Turner knows this. By
labeling protest as "immaturity," and seeking to lie and misrepresent the
complaint, he is acting as if he is Intuit's agent.

My getting a refund doesn't hurt Intuit. My complaining on the Internet
might have the effect of putting pressure on Intuit to back off from its
corporate abuse. Jim Turner has misrepresent the facts that gave rise to the
complaint, and labeled any protest as "immaturity."

By doing these things, he is acting as Intuit's shill.

Now *you* are lying. I do not want to "run the software and complain about
it." I haven't run the software since I figured out what the issue was. I
was waiting for Intuit to back off, and complaining publicly in the
meantime. I'm going to keep complaining. It is not "immature" to protest a
corporation's abusive actions.

such a place.  More misplaced anger.

So Criswell, who are *you* working for? You say it's "wrong to complain in a
place where your complaint can't be an won't be resolved." Who says it can't
be or won't be resolved as the result of outraged current and former
customers publicly protesting Intuit's abusive tactics?

Let's be clear about this.

Intuit included spyware in its personal finance software. If you don't allow
Intuit to place software on your computer that has the capability of spying
on you, then your tax software won't work. This is an outrageous betrayal of
trust by Intuit. It is arrogant and stupid.

There is a long tradition in America of people protesting corporate abuse.
Apparently, Jim Turner, you and others think that software companies are
immune from criticism, and regard anyone who criticizes a corporation as
"immature" for doing so. Hey, welcome to the Republican Party!!
