The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. 

Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. 

Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a swinger party, a threesome and a yard sale with their home address

This is absolutely crazy. I wonder why the former CEO was so threatened by a relatively unknown internet blog? Its probably not an isolated incident either. I bet there were many other critics who were scared into silence and didnt bother to fight back.

I love that their website is still up and they are still reporting about ebay too
