Tree Topping - Really?

How about ..... I've tried to educate the customer with all of the arguments against topping, but he's still adamant. Do I walk away with my professional integrity intact or do I do the job 'cos I've got wages/bills/tax to pay and a family to feed?

I think context would play a big part....if someone insisted on topping a high amenity tree Id would walk and keep my dignity. If it was a low value young tree that could take the beasting I might be reluctantly persuaded.

Then you get into the scenario where someone wants a large tree felled and you manage to at least talk them into leaving a monolith which I guess is better than nothing but could still be considered as topping.
