Everywhere breeds criminal scum. Unfortunately, everywhere breeds ignorance, intolerance and individuals who are willing to personally accuse, condemn, convict or even execute other human beings based solely on their own conjecture. Such behavior is barbarism and should not be proposed, celebrated or even tolerated.You are welcome to your opinions and to express yourself. Disagreements and discourse are the fundamental tenets of enlightenment and civilization. Nonetheless, when discourse harms others, I prefer to be extraordinarily cautious with mine. You are welcome to be less cautious and I certainly can't stop you from expressing your opinions. Heck, I might even share some of them now and then, privately. Meanwhile, I won't do business with Lisa for a while....

And, although it appears that the accusations against them are well founded, whining doesn't get much done.I have not been significantly harmed by them and unless ebay/paypal change the nature of buyers protection, it seems I won't be. If the worst we are facing on ebay now is former scam artists tying up our money for a few weeks, instead of simply stealing it.... in practical terms the real problem is solved.

The global warming/war/poverty/famine/health care issues are but a scattering of things that actually deserve real consideration.
