I got the same ham-fisted reply.
Amazon,
A few days ago, it has surfaced and brought to my attention that your website deliberately de-lists homosexual themed books even those by Shakespeare. Playboy's erotic publications and books on how to prevent homosexuality are not affected and shows up on searches. It is just sick, disgusting and offensive.
Whether it's a glitch, a hack-job or a software malfunction....
I demand a public apology thru major newspapers regarding this major negligence on your company's side regarding safeguarding the efficiency of your services.
By de-listing the gay themed books, you have just affected thousands of authors who are relying on those web sales.
Your gross negligence have also contributed to the sick, hateful and bigoted marginalization of the Intersex, Queer, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transsexual populations!
How dare you allow this indecency?
If you do not publicly apologize via major newspapers like NY Times, SF Chronicle, SF Examiner, LA Times, Seattle intelligencer and more publications
and offer an explanation about how your company made the biggest mistake of it's operating history, I will surely cancel my amazon account and shop somewhere else.
I would like to read and hear about your company's dedication to equality, diversity and tolerance by fixing this mess asap!
...And if possible, find ways to prosecute malicious individuals who promote acts of hatred such as these.
If I do not hear any prompt apology within a week, I will help the ongoing campaign to boycott your business and you can get assured that we can bring our business somewhere else where we are appreciated.
Thank you.
Antonijan
