"Freedom of Speech" NOT...at Fascist EBAY via Nazi John Donahoe

All over the Internet "Freedom of Speech" includes insulting and cursing people on Twatter and Farcebook. Julian Assange and forum owners/members would say it includes hacking someone's e-mail and publishing someone's private pictures. Copy music or movies or TV shows and you're defended because it's "FAIR USE" and "FREEDOM OF SPEECH."

Then there's John Donahoe, the CEO (creepy egocentric oaf) Fuhrer of eBay.

He denies "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" in its most basic form: to say how you feel about someone's bad behavior.

One of the simplest forms of "Freedom of Speech" is to be able to say, "This person has cheated me." You can say it on Twatter and Farcebook. You can stand in front of a store and picket, even.

BUT, on eBay you're not allowed to say that about a crooked bidder. Sellers are PREVENTED from leaving negatives.

What's that mean? It means EBAY SELLER IS THE NIGGER OF THE WORLD.

Under what condition is "Freedom of Speech" restricted to one person over another? Under FASCISM. Under NAZISM. And, UNDER EBAY.

Ebay sellers are forbidden from telling other sellers about a scammer. Not only doesn't eBay allow sellers to BLOCK bidders who have a certain number of negatives, eBay won't allow bidders to get negatives at all.

It is also VERBOTEN to go to an eBay forum or message board and say you're having a problem with another eBay member...and attempt to mention that member's name. Your post is TAKEN DOWN. Yes, eBay has no people checking to see that chloroform or "porno dvd" or other key words aren't used as headers for illegal sales on eBay, but within seconds, a brown-shirt idiot will deny Freedom of Speech to someone posting about a crook!

Let's say a bidder has the habit of "bargaining" sellers down. OR...extorting refunds. This would be, "Hey, that trumpet I bought for $250 mint like new. I see a scratch. Refund me $100." And "That DVD is not as described. There's a scratch. I want a complete refund AND the cost of postage, too."

With no negatives allowed, the bidder can keep doing this FOREVER. How many times would it take for sellers to literally call eBay, talk to a low level monkey, report the problem, and get action? Ebay is notorious for not suspending criminals and not even giving them serious warnings.

Another tactic Hitler would've admired, this time focusing on seller weasel behavior rather than bidder weasel behavior, is selling bootlegs, private sex photos or even Photoshopped porn on famous actresses. Ebay's Donahoe, ala Sgt. Schultz of "Hogan's Heroes" says "I know nnnnnnuthing, I know nnnnnnuthing..." He would add: "And you can't report the auction and I won't ask the seller to provide me with proof the item is legit or there's a signed model release on the photos."

How sweet is "revenge porn" when somebody can sell naked photos of his girlfriend? How lovely it is when "sharing" for a mere "nice comment" on a blog is replaced with making hundreds of dollars by selling a CD of a Beach Boys show you secretly recorded?

RIGHTS OWNERS ARE THE NIGGERS OF THE WORLD on eBay, and they have to spend time hunting for these items, which sometimes include deliberately misspellings and other tricks. Then they have to report them and hope eBay stops the auction in time. Then they have to hope the seller doesn't use the rights owner's name address and phone number to "get even." And then they have to hope the seller doesn't sell the item over and over, since eBay doesn't suspend even the worst weasel right away.

DONAHOE is making a fortune for himself. He could parlay this fortune into a power-mad attempt to run for Governor of California (as the previous eBay CEO did). Or he could just enjoy his millions while eBay sellers are gouged by eBay fees and double-gouged by eBay's twin sister Paypal (which, ha ha ho ho hee hee, is officially "not owned by eBay" anymore but is still loaded with eBay personnel and is still just about the only option for payment on the site.)

HEIL DONAHOE! HEIL! HEIL!
