In the end of all this the only person this upset is you....
I find that to be a monumental waste of energy personally.
But now the warning is out there and people can easily access the information about their virused plants and terrible policies. I know a quick Google of Normans our orchids.com yields tons of results referring to experiences much like yours.
And I also know most people... Especially on the hobby side... do at least a little homework on who they intend to purchase from. So I'm sure word of this will spread fast...
At that point it's up to the person if they want to purchase from them...
I'm certain many people will find it worth the risk, as well as many others who won't.
I personally am a small window sill grower who doesn't really mind if the plant has a virus as long as it continues to grow and flower. And I appreciate the wide selection they give me.
I'm sure a serious enthusiast with a more specialised setup and a wide collection of plants would dread the thought of a virus going near their plants.
I would return an obviously sickly or infected plant and would not mind sending it in for replacement. But one that continues to grow unaffected by the virus isn't an issue for me.
Maybe one day it will.. when I have a really special collection.
