 "I recommend that you be careful what you say, Mr. Rose."

This sounds like a veiled threat. Let me remind you this is not Ebay nor does
Ebay control this newsgroup. Everyone's opinion is valid here. I am also on Ebay
and I have to say I've seen their attempts to squash free speech on their message
and wanted boards and frankly it is a little Orwellian. I would hate to see Ebay
fanatics or stock holders of Ebay coming here barking out orders telling people
what they can and cannot say.

Chris was not slandering anyone he was just bringing something up that he found
to be unusual; and I find it unusual as well. Having had someone rip me off on
Ebay in a similar way I think this is a legitimate concern.
