Its completely one sided,

Well, it's a petition. Petitions generally are.

To be honest, I don't think those who drew up the petition have really thought things out. I notice Emmanuel Mair is one of the activists; this is the guy who ran FUD'ing to penguinppc.org trying to make people think that the AOS ROM would stop Linux running on the A1. If he'd actually thought for a moment and/or asked Eyetech about it first, he wouldn't have looked so silly.

If my memory serves me correctly then those who did have a different opinion then what the poll was set up to address were taken off not because they were offensive but because their opinions weren’t inline with what the poll is trying to get across.


It isn't a poll, it's a petition. I wonder what kind of twisted logic leads someone who disagrees with the object of a petition signing it anyway. If those signatures have also been removed, even though abusive language wasn't involved, this is hardly the stuff of which police states are made.

In any case, if I had a fiver for the number of times I've seen people rant and rave about something being "unfair" and "dictatorial", before signing on the dotted line along with everyone else...

Why wasn't this idea presented as a poll? perhaps because the creator didn't feel that the results would end up supporting his view.

Or perhaps, like the responsable netizens they are, they knew full well putting a poll on any site would just spark off yet another massive flamewar.



It's a free world. They chose a petition. It's their right.

Exactly but are people questioning my questioning or attacking my questioning. Or just attacking me.

Just questioning your logic.
