I think Bring_Back_Shantz's entire statement is that Pattison predicts that it would lose more revenue than it would gain as a whole by placing up this ad. If they predicted that they'd get a small profit by putting it up and no losses from other offended customers (or even a loss of other customers, provided they were smaller losses than the gains from this), then they'd run it. If they lose big customers who pay (let's play with small numbers) x+100 dollars a year, but were only paid x dollars for this job, they wouldn't accept it because it's a net monitary loss for their action...even if they got this opportunity on an annual basis.
