NYCNPBBKR, the First Amendment does not guarantee the freedom to force a private entity, in this case SI, to publish whatever garbage someone wants to post on it's bulletin board. If the intent of this petition were to encourage the gov't to pass a law to silence Emile then I would be squarely against it. The First Amendment rights here are SI's, and those of the petitioners requesting that SI choose to exercise it's Constitutionally protected right of freedom of the press, and to cease providing Emile with the ability to publish under it's banner. Emile may start his own website, and continue to publish his ravings to his hearts content. Perhaps he should consider using www.nutcake.com as the domain name.

However, I will personally abstain from voting either way. I have the next button if I wish to ignore Emile.
