This just in: People continue to use the Internet to be dicks to one another.
Okay. So I stayed pretty well clear of the whole Regretsy vs Paypal online bruhaha this Christmas...if for no other than reason than, look, I've got a lot going on at that time of the year, and the last thing I need is yet another reason for people as a species to make me feel sad.
My tl;dr on the situation? Paypal pulled a colossal dick move and from the testimonials it sounded as if they'd pulled similar crap in the past, the only time I ever use the site is when they're the essentially the channeling device for some other site when I shop for merchandise online (like BPAL or Amazon), and while I've heard of it before I never visit Regretsy. So really, I didn't have much to weigh in on from any angle, except for shaking my head in distaste, which is what just about everyone was doing anyway.
But this? Paypal, what the actual fuck.
