I think they gave in due to Ebay owning a percentage of the CL and Ebay is a public traded company.

Doubt it has much if anything to do with the ebay connection. They have been butting heads for awhile and it seems pretty clear that CL does not like the ebay connection at all anyways. Hell ebay sued them at one point after being the shareholder.
Craigslist has been taking a lot of flack even before the killing. People just love to bring up the erotic services section. Then if you think about how many people they get to the site in general, you know damn well a large chunk would be offended by it and start bitching - even though they could just ignore it and not visit that section of the site.
