Some banks have gone multinational and I don’t want to think that my meager money is supporting the same people who hurt such a small business – something like what I might want to do in 5 years when the baby’s grown a bit.

Mamid – I agree that I would like to know the name of the bank, especially if it is a national bank which I might be doing business with. I am sure that once whatever legal action Blue Moon is taking is settled, they – or one of their many perturbed customers – will out the bank.

And of course, if sufficient interest is generated in the media for this story to make it out of the blogosphere and into the mainstream news, the name of the bank will certainly be publicized.

They NEED to say which bank it was. That way every single knitter who reads what happens to them who has accounts in that bank and its other branches can choose whether or not to remain a customer.

If I knew it was MY bank, I’d drop them like a rock. Or at least write a response letter to the bank executive.

If we don’t know which bank it is, they’ll just keep on ignoring women as sound businesses to invest in.

That Metafilter link is blowing my hits out of the water. I’m glad that word is getting about about this story.
