catsittingstillThere is an interesting theory put forth here, that the de-ranking at Amazon may result from some fundy nutgroup flagging anything with teh gay as "adult content" or "offensive content" or something. If they had enough people, working in a coordinated way, they might be able to trigger some sort of automatic unranking of books they target.
A weekend that is also a major holiday for two religions would be a great time to do this, because the people minding the store are likely to be the ones without seniority (and therefore experience) and thus will take longer to notice something wrong and may not be able to set it right themselves.
So...
Maybe it is Amazon's fail, in which case I stand ready to trim their ears closer to their heads with a dull spoon (metaphorically speaking). But maybe it's some fundy nuts trying to turn a liberal group (people who want fair treatment for gays) against a relatively liberal company.
So I think I'm going to sit back and wait a while before doing anything more. Life is short--but not so short I can't give them until the end of Monday to make some progress on setting things right.
