So regardless of wanting to make this all OK by talking about coral, it misses the issue.

if everyone here wrote a blog post about sustainable coral useage and posted the links you would reach way more people and they would understand why you are upset - if you can't provide a counter opinion based in fact about how to sustainably use coral then maybe they where right.
I know very little about it, but I am sure those of you affected could educate people more effectively by blogging and link sharing - fact is whats done is done the post was made time to counter balance the opinion, especially if they don't have the facts strait.

They're a mass of contradictions at that age! All pumping fists and fighting talk, but totally in awe of Big Shiny Companies! Please tell me I was never that naive!!!

I was - I had the whole starry-eyed Etsy newbie thing going on. *gags off to the side*
I still love being here, but it's more like a long-term relationship in which you know you're getting the raw end of the deal, but you keep on anyway because there is something you're getting out of the relationaship.

I had a nearly 5 year relationship with Etsy until recently.
Yeah.

Yes unions are pay-rolled by the company though.
A close friend of mine is actually a member of a very active group that helps form Unions against the grain of big corporations. One of the largest union organizers in the country actually.
I do believe the in the Revolutionary ethic, part of his job includes leading protests of thousands with the bullhorn - let me tell you I have personally distributed anti-corporate material and have actually done speaking engagements about how wal-mart is single handedly destroying the free market system -
I am not a fan I am not in awe of big companies, I am just saying they can be worked around - educate the masses not about why the thread exists but on why the post is flawed - with facts about how coral is obtained.
Those are what will change minds about the real root of the issue. Or just call me a troll a few more times and I will recoil to my spot under the bridge.
