If you are threatening our founder Craig Newmark, a board member with no operational role at craigslist other than as a customer service representative, then you are expanding your list of ?criminal suspects? to include thousands of employees at the above-named companies, or the companies? boards of directors, or both.
Mr McMaster, I strongly recommend you reconsider and retract your remarks, and positively affirm that you have no intention of launching criminal investigations aimed at any of these upstanding companies, because in truth none of them are deserving of such treatment. Certainly when it comes to craiglist, by any objective standard your threats and accusations are unreasonable and unfair:
* threats of criminal prosecution are utterly unwarranted by the facts
* the charges threatened are unconstitutional and barred by federal law
* our adult ad screening regimen is stricter than the one you endorsed
* our adult services ads are fewer and tamer than other SC venues
We?re willing to accept our share of criticism, but wrongfully accusing craigslist of criminal misconduct is simply beyond the pale. We would very much appreciate an apology at your very earliest convenience. As I?m sure would all of the other fine companies whose executives you?ve called out as criminals.
Sincerely Yours,
Jim Buckmaster
CEO, craigslist

way to go!
