I quote:

"Wharton said he thinks the sale of the host "slipped through the cracks" at eBay, and that the company would not have allowed the posting if it had been aware of it. "


hey. wonder how much respect ebay would show toward OTHER religious icons in general, given enuff ammo?!

Kinda related:
To their credit they did prevent an ulu maika sale from going through a while ago.

That's a step, but it was more because it was an historical artifact than anything else.

If they had to get rid of all the religious stuffage from any and all cultures??? Man....that'd be some kind of purge for them to do. It'd be easier to tell folks "Hey, we allow sales of other religious items ...this is no different" and don't let themselves be caught up against a wall.

:D I didn't understand the title of this entry, so I thought somebody was selling his webhost on E-Bay!
