This just in from “Big Daddy”:

Just closed my PayPal account…

This is what I wrote in the Comment of why I closed my account:

“Your refusal to allow the National [Organization] for the Reform of Marijuana Laws of California to use the PayPal system because there were Doctors listed on their site who may recommend medical marijuana to their sick patients has offended me and hundreds of thousands of likeminded people. People who believe that sick Americans have a right to medical marijuana in states that allow it are not a minority but a majority. If this is your “Business Decision”, as a Financial Analyst, I don’t think you have made the correct financial calculation. I will blog in protest of PayPal until you reverse your decision. In the mean time you have lost my business and my family’s future business, including my children who will grow up being told that PayPal is against sick people finding Doctors to help them.”

I love you people!

    I canceled my two acounts last night, trying to get my wife to close hers but she thinks that it wont matter, she loves ebay, but Im working on it. My parents are going to close theirs, since they dont use it anyhow I was able to talk them into it very easy.

    PayPal may start regreting this move, lets all hope so!
