When we enter into an area which bans things for the expression of an opinion, then we are getting to difficult waters. Each individual has his or her right to his opinion, whether that opinion be distateful to others or not as the case may be. I don't know the whole situation here, but in defence of the company, it must take action, even if the ideology of free speech is possibly appears under threat, especially if there are certain circumstances which become apparant. For instance racial hate, prejudice, targeting of any group in order to single them out, bullying, verbal abuse, harassment or threat against person or persons or terrorism. The company should though balance and reason out its actions, pro family does not not necessarily mean anti homosexual for instance and jumping to a conclusion can be a very dangerous thing. For instance, one of my arguments as I am anti war, is that the Palestinian People have suffered horribly with attacks and military assaults against their communities, it is not racist to oppose war, yet some would have it as such! There are some "high profile" high pressure groups around, who are actually as bad, if not worse than that which they oppose, they would suppress free speech, agitate and cause problems for those who have a differing opinion even to the point of suppression. These groups should be watched very carefully. Fanatacism is dangerous in any aspect in which it appears. Paypal have a duty to their customers, whoever they may be, I guess that must come first, but saying that, it should remain impartial, especially in matters relating to politics, religion, family values, even if it has views of its own. I would feel sad that people feel the need to leave though, instead of working around solutions to the problem. In this world it is highly unlikely that any of us will be able to find the "perfect solutions" to our problems and at best we are often left to simply muddle through, because in our world there is no such thing as perfect!
