  I can accept bias, especially in an online article. It's the nature of the game. That said, the author's response to commenters reveals an almost Gizmodo-like lack of professionalism. To whit: "i think the article, which reports that which was posted previously when paypal froze the funds, and that which payapl revealed today, is in no way misleading. moreover, the comments below reveal further evidence why paypal could do what they did, be it right or wrong. thanks for your overzealous, inaccurate, comment "Winslow." isn't it fun to laugh a little?" (Admirable ability to locate the shift key, especially for an author).
