Some rather heated venting has been taking place in the comments section to our story "May Day Revolt! Sellers Plan New Strike vs. eBay."
Since we ran it a week ago, pointed and emotional comments have come our way in response, which we posted. Via moderation, we disallowed a few others for language that was (how shall we say this?) salty. The din in some chat rooms and assorted forums could best be characterized as damnation of eBay. Seven days later, are cooler heads prevailing?
Adding to the talking points is the commencement of registration for eBay Live! If the boycott is still ongoing when the conference opens June 19th, do you foresee any on-site demonstrations? Will you attend? Post your thoughts there or start a new dialog here.
C'mon, share with the group.

I don't see the need to travel 900 miles to be insulted, that's why we have eBay and PayPay Radio.
The disgruntled sellers ought to stand and turn their back to Mr. Donahoe when he gives his speech.
Don't drink the kool-aid!

Ed,
Thanks for your candor. We especially noted your apparent disain for the in-shop audio-casts that disseminate the "party lines" of the entities in question. Though we are no more "radio" (in the traditional sense) than they at present, we're here as a much more "populist" enterprise, though that notion alone sufficiently betrays our sentiments that we'd not dare consider ourselves too objecive, though we try.
Moreover, with your ongoing patronage, which helps us build the kind of critical mass important to our goal, you may soon have an actual radio-transmitter-microphone "broadcast" radio show on your side. Soon, indeed, though not soon enough, for sure.
Keep us informed on your thoughts and activities.
Chris & Frank
