eBay spiders, roaches, and a pigs head
« on: June 15, 2020, 01:37:20 pm »
So, I was wondering why my Buy It Now win of live spiders, roaches, and a bloody pigs face was late in the mail ... then I see this is the reason why they were out of stock ...  :o

A despicable group of eBay executives.

A despicable group of eBay executives.
Yes. So many levels of despicableness.
These alleged cyberterrorist were very high salaried eBay executives at the maximum heights of management , leaders of a multinational billion dollar enterprise. Top notch Silicon Valley wunder-kids using eBays worldwide resources to practice rabid “cancel culture tactics” . For what ? To get even with 2 people who posted opinions on a small obscure web blog ?
This is endemic of high tech social media today. Silicon Valleys’ hatchlings of little vipers. To me this isn’t just about eBay, it’s a classic case study in just how petty and easy it is to “go after” and destroy someone who disagrees with those Barney Fife-like overlords who have the slightest authority .
To make this issue more specific to folks on this steam forum, those who oft rely on buying and selling on eBay, note that those indicted execs were in charge of eBays global security ! With so many scammers and con games on eBay it is beyond bizarre that those execs had ample time and salaries to play childlike ding-dong-ditch attacks on 2 innocent victims. Oh well, this story will drop into the interweb memory hole in 3...2...1... gone.

Well said Jasper and spot on for most any of the big social media outlets who take to censoring perfectly legitimate content that doesn't happen to agree with their perceived or preconceived worldview or politik.

We are living in a highly constrained world now, and those running it pull the levers while they hide behind the green curtain, so are unelected and untouchable for the most part.

Actually, it is a dark sinister black curtain!
