Okay, on the face of it this article had me preparing to hex someone for unfair discrimination then I followed the link and read the article. What followed was a salutary lesson in read first, react later.
It seems at first glance that e-bay have gone anti-witch, but what they have actually done is gotten rid of some categories in the metaphysical/esoteric section leaving us with access to the,quote: "items that have a tangible value for the item itself and may also be used in metaphysical rites and practices (ie jewellery,crystals, incense, candles, and books)". Now I don't know about anybody else but it is my understanding that the whole aim of E-bay is to provide a place for people to sell tangible, physical items to other people and also that as the 'Market Managers' E-bay have the right to decide who they are prepared to 'let a stall' in their virtual marketplace.
The fact is, that the headline suggests that E-bay have gone anti-witch when in fact they have just exercised their right to amend the parameters of what can and can't be sold on their site, it can only be true to say they are discriminating against us if it can be found that they are allowing Catholics, Hindus, Muslims, etc, etc to 'sell' prayers and blessings on the site.
Unless or until someone can show me that this is the case then I defend the right of those at E-bay to set those limits and I hope everyone who reads this will read the article in full before deciding for themselves whether or not they agree with me on that one.
