So, 'Last Night' I'd gone to the eBay "Discussion Board" and put out a shout for any fellow Trap Collectors? Just a 'Hyah!'. I found, today, one guy had made a light hearted and somewhat banal remark in response and that's all I got.
Then it hit the fan (There are now NO - BRITISH Gin's on the Bay. They've totalled us. Right?)
So, I've gone back to their "Discussion" board and requested a response from the Bay themselves. Made it blatently clear that I expected them to follow form; My Post would vanish and, pretty soon, " Old Traps UK " would be escorted from the building.
Yep. Just been back for a look. Slyly as ye like, my original shout still stands. So, there I am, in a pub with no beer, asking what everyone would like to drink - yeah. Keep up those appearences, eBay! So, I posted This:
" Oh, come, come now, eBay! Naughty, sneaky! First you take away our *right* to buy and sell scrap metal on the system we've all paid into for so long, so hard. Now you seek to simply black us out from Discussing your underhand behaviour by blacking out any DISCUSSION of it on Your " Discussion Board ", eh?
How about ye show a little more manners? Give us some word on why it's OK to offer barely disguised Paedophilia related material ( " Cute, blonde Boy Scout " )? Totally blatent Abduction / Torture / Rape *Fantasy* comics? But 50 year old relics? Oh NO!!!
Come on. Say SOMETHING?
Steve ".
Now it's here, getting seen. Now I'll take it to my Group and Post it there. Then I'll make the rounds of some Forums I know. I'll Post it there too :-)
And, when they sling my antagonistic botty off their corrupt, stinking, Neo Nazi run little empire? I'll write some more and Post THAT left right and centre!
We're, most of us here, people, because we PAY them for our advertising space. WE make the Bay work. WE make them rich. Don't laugh too loud at My antics, dear reader. Just what is it YOU like to buy and sell on there - untill they decide you simply can't?
You'll recieve NO Warning. NO Explanation. NO Right to Appeal. They'll just DUMP you and the other people.
Wait. Watch and See.
Traps.
