Most of us do get it. Let's get that point out of the way.

What I don't get, is why did etsy publish the article? Why did etsy call out an entire segment of it's sellers in such a potentially negative way?

What could be the impact to the sellers who have no voice to defend their decision to work with legally obtained coral beads?

If Etsy is going to publish items that suggest Etsy no longer wants to sell items with coral, I think they should return the listing fees we have spent listing our coral items.

(I somehow don't think I will sell anything coral this weekend LOL, that is the impact ;) )
