"Amazon has a legal right not to sell a book, but refusing to sell a book or promote it as it should be because of its thematic content is a business practice that I cannot support."
Huh? When did Amazon refusing to sell a book come in? All the allegations I've seen are merely that Amazon stripped the books in x category from the rankings (promotion). They still happily sold the books. As far as I can tell, the bottom line is that people are saying that Amazon (wrongly, in most of their opinions) miscategorized the books into a category which they decided they wouldn't show ratings for, which (miscategorization) could happen for any number of reasons, some understandable, some not.
