Understood. The difference here is that you're actually expressing a VALID reason for disliking Wal-Mart -- and one that I even share to some extent. The problem expressed in the article is that a lot of people confuse Target's sense of style with a corresponding sense of "social responsibility", which may not really be there...
I'd just caution people to be honest about why they prefer Target over Wal-Mart. While the merchandise mix or shopping experience may be less appealing at Wal-Mart, these things don't necessarily make Target MORALLY superior...
