What a bunch of nonsense. You could have entire countries boycott Google and it wouldn't bother them, much less an unorganized internet rabble.

There's also 'no such thing' as SQ (spiritual quotient) and no such thing as VQ (varna quotient) although both have been around and in use longer than our (western) civilisation.
