EBay Pressured To Block Sales of Ivory Products

RickRussellTX writes "eBay is being pressured by an animal welfare group to ban sales of ivory and animal tooth products on its site. Although eBay is in compliance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species when it warns users that such postings may be inviolation of national and international law, the International Fund for Animal Welfare is demanding that they go a step further to search for and delete any posting of ivory products."

Next thing you know, they'll want me to give back my elephant's foot ergonomic chair and my Siberian Tiger solar-powered coat ...

Re:What a stunning surprise

[hassanchop]

First of all, I'm at a public terminal, hence my reluctance to sign in.

Any excuse will do when you're caught out, huh? Sorry, but you're full of shit.

Second, do you mean to tell me that posting under the name "hassanchop" makes you any less anonymous?

Yes. Are you really that stupid? MY statement are attributable to ME. They color my future posts, and the responses to said posts. It's not hard, but you seems to be having difficulty.

And third, your threats to eat a burger and chop some trees assume that anyone who disagrees with you on one thing disagrees with everything

No, it assumes those things will piss you off. They will, and your "doth protest too much" moment just then makes it clear I was right and they will. You'll claim otherwise, but it will be just as believable as a "public terminal".

And very angry

Yeah, activists who try to force their agenda on me and in so doing restrict my legal right to engage in an activity DO anger me.

So, I can't wait to hear the new excuses, I expect they'll be just as emty and worthless as everything else you've said.
