Sheesh, I'd have thought we'd finished fighting out this anti-capitalist hippie crap 35 years ago. It's depressing to see that it's still going.
It's not anti-capitalist hippie crap. It's a huge group of folks mad at one guy in particular, and unfortunately their aim is not particularly refined. I've had pretty much all of the 8-9 ads I've put up in the last year flagged, and most of them were giveaways (I sell rarely). Knowing the fellow they're tweaked at, I can understand, but it took me a while to figure it out. He put up several last night, they were all flagged, now they're up again. There have also been a couple of post railing about the guy on CL RVA over the last few months (they go away too), so between what I've been told and read, I'm pretty sure this is the case...
