Here's the thing – if a consumer advocate like ol' Isabel Jones had written about this, would QVC settled with the same terms?

“Well, Isabel, you need to print a retracting – while you're at it, you can't write about us for 5 years.”

I don't think so.

On the other hand, QVC's past behaviour doesn't create the trust I need to ensure that they're not going to do it again. It just means that Donn can't do anything about it.

In the end, the damage done to QVC online may be a just retribution. (Unless they use 'Black Hat SEO' to fix up the problem.) They still haven't solved all their problems on Hello Peter …
