CTS used to be a mostly friendly place where people could meet others, make new friends and have discussions on many different subjects. This chat board has been overrun with several negative threads, all of them containing an offensive avatar of an unborn baby. The poster that started these threads uses any excuse to preach about her/his religion and constanly cuts and pastes articles. This poster belongs to a religious organisation www.amyfound.org/ and is in effect, trying to SELL their views and religion. Ebay has strict rules about advertising and soliciting on the chat boards and just because this persons' "product" has no monetary value doesn't make it any less of an advertisement or solicitation. Many people have tried to have discussions with this poster about his/her posts but he/she always reverts to cutting and pasting more articles and does not chat about what he/she posts. If this person was trying to sell purses, video games or hockey cards on the boards, they would have been banned long ago. Why is this person still here? This is not the appropriate venue for his/her mission. It is easy enough to say "Just ignore it." But it is ALL OVER THE BOARDS! WHY won't eBay remove him/her???? SPEAK UP AND BE HEARD! WE WANT OUR CHAT BOARD BACK!

Are we still keeping this going?

Free Expression and free speech are fundamental rights for everyone. The poster Amy never exercises their right to free expression or speech since they rarely speak. They post repetitive articles from the web using cut and paste. The avatar is offensive to many, they know that, yet refuse to change it. While their opinions are as valid as anyone else's they are not doing so in a discussion format. BTW Ashley Smythe, this isn't for censoring opinions different than yours ( or creeps as you put it ). I don't care what opinion someone has. If you believed in free expression, neither would you. It's the methods they use.

This is a "discussion" board, this poster is engaging in a one sided cut and paste campaign. It can best be described as a hate filled monologue, and it's interesting that this poster is conveniently using free-speech to spew his hatred while bashing the rights and freedoms of many groups at the same time. Complete hypocrisy at it's best.

There's something very strange going on here. I signed this petition yesterday and now it seems that my name's been removed from the list, so I'm signing it again!!! What up with that, I wonder?

This is an absolutely brilliant petition. This is one change that will be supported by eBay Canada's community.

When the majority are being asked to alter their courses of action to accommodate/avoid one, I believe the fundamental principles have gone awry. It's harassing and this is not a clique or a group ganging up because some of our most respected members have commented on how to have the boards returned to order.

I am sick of this religious organization blatently posting nothing but Cut and Paste propoganda and hate speech towards anyone that disagrees. How is it ok for my friends to be called concubines, swine, baby killers, and myself to be called a bitch. Please remove this person. They have no interest in Ebay other than their own agenda.

I have no problem with someone posting their opinion but when the boards become overrun with this posters avitar of an aborted 12 week old fetus, this is when I speak up.
