> A substantial majority of people consider this foolish [citation needed]. While ebay banning them may be a bit much, I don't know anyone IRL who is upset tha

  And I haven't heard anyone I've met in person argue in favor of the banning, and earlier (before the ebay thing) someone I know irl (well, haven't seen them in person in a while, but I still talk to them frequently) complained about the unpublication, and I warned against overreacting about it (now, hearing the ebay thing, I do think the ebay thing is indicative of something which is a somewhat larger concern). (I've only spoken to one person I've met irl about the topic. It is likely that others other people I know would have a variety of different opinions on it, if it were brought up, but the topic didn't come up when we spoke recently.) Do our anecdotes cancel out?

    Not really sure why it would need to; I was just pointing out that claiming what "a substantial majority" of people think ought to have something backing it up, especially since it didn't jive with either of our anecdotes.
