Scott Beale runs a San Francisco web hosting company, shoots photographs locally (we've published his work on Wired News), and runs The Squid List, a calendar of Bay Area events with a techie/arty bias. But when he tried to set up an Amazon Associates store today, Beale took flak from locals miffed about his support of the Seattle-based monolith and bitter about the recent closings of many excellent San Francisco-area bookstores.

The debate continues on Beale's blog, with SF author/blogger/sex columnist Violet Blue and SF publisher/author/provocateur V. Vale weighing in on opposite sides of the issue. What everyone agrees on:
The Squid List rocks.
