More helmet petition fun
Remember the petition "Compulsary [sic] Cycle Helmets For Children", at
http://www.petitiononline.com/p4hpet/petition.html ? I see that the names and comments of certain ;-) of the contributors have been removed, and replaced with the words "line voided"; but their signatures still count towards the petition. -- Mark, UK "The function of vice is to keep virtue within reasonable bounds." |

Well it says it's a Compulsory Petition so everyone should sign up - a petition full of voided signatures is rather more effective for the anti cause than one with all valid names - IMO -- Tony "...has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate..."

Line voided is currently pending approval. I've just signed up as, "Pending Approval" and received this rather contradictory sentence in the confirmation email: "Please contribute $1.00 or more to PetitionOnline and help maintain this premiere free speech forum." How can it be described as "this premiere free speech forum" when it allows petition authors to edit messages contrary to their views? |

Response to Tom Crispin:
How can it be described as "this premiere free speech forum" when it allows petition authors to edit messages contrary to their views? Of course it's their bat and ball, and they can do what they like on their website; but the free speech thing should rather stick in their throats. Still, one can certainly see the funny side of a petition with 45 signatures, thirty-odd of which are presumably iffy. I'll be interested[1] if my own contribution, under my own name, makes the cut.
