HeelLaw.. To protest that airlines make it difficult to trade or maximize usage out of their own miles is silly.. if you don't like how the game is played, then don't bother participating.

This sounds like a personal vendetta against Points.com .. hiding behind a pseudo-collective crusade against the "evils of point-trading companies".
