[plug] [plug-ctte] Ebay is Anti-Linux!

[Patrick Coleman]

An attachment was originally included, but I have removed it because it was a good 300kb; if you
scroll halfway the page at http://pages.ebay.com.au/protectyourself/ to where it says 'Play dunk the
Scammer' (the red tshirt) you can see the offending image.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this email to Linux Groups, Linux Media and general Media
outlets in protest of eBay's (Australia) use of the Tux logo suggesting
that Linux users are Scammers and generally dishonest people. I am
personally writing a letter to them about my views on their actions.

I am a photographer and a sales team member and know nothing of of
hacking, scamming or even spamming. I run PCLinuxOS as well as Windows
and I am probably your 'normal' Linux user.
I think that this type of portrayal of a community based orgainsation
out of such a large international company should be tolerated and/or
even boycotted! We need to get the word out about this and let not only
the Linux world know about this but the world in general.

Please investigate this for yourselves, have your voice at eBay and
publish your concerns.

THE LINUX COMMUNITY WILL AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED WITH SUCH CONTEMPT!
