Craig is a wonderful person and a successful entrepreneur. His creation, the craigslist is an awesome concept which has marked the online classified segment with style. This centralized network of internet communities is a great option for individuals as well as business people to advertise their products and services with ease. Good to know about craig, all at one place.

What good is the glass half full, if it is made of poison. Despite what you managed to sell on CL(for better or worse), it can abolish that pedophilia they are promoting for free at the expense of kids. How hard is that? Please don’t give me your crappy defensive explanation. And I am not even trying to be rude.

Do I care of Mr Newmark is respected? By whom? Certainly not by me!

We, as a society have done enough damage on our kid’s psyche by making perversion accessible all across the board.

Yeah! Don’t have college fees. Why not use CL to sell ***** for the setback?

I am done.

Chris….wow very spirited comment. However, I think the key here is balance.

1. Craig is not a rich man.
2. He really wants to help others
3. CL does provide a good free medium to help people sell things. I’ve personally sold a couple items, gave away some weights for free, found an apartment and some programming gigs.
4. CL is based in San Fran – a city known for it’s liberal and ‘progressive’ stance.

In any community (online or off) you will find bad apples – locations, families, individuals. Garbage exists all over – but only if you look for it. Basically it provides a service for what people want. That’s it. Unfortunately people desire some unsavory things.

Don’t be blind to the bad but at the same time don’t deny the good that has come from CL. CL has adult areas but only if you go looking for them. I can understand totally if you have had a personal experience that has changed your viewpoint. However don’t be surprised if others don’t share the same sentiment or view CL as glass half full.

Go tell Craig that his site is a cesspool for perverts, child sex solicitors. CL is a garbage site full of illegal activities being falsified as commerce.

No wonder so many teens and kids go there. Remove the adult garbage and Cl knows it will lose all that massive traffic it gets.

Newmark – You are an *******. You put profits before the well being of kids.
