By coincidence, this interesting article was published today - the author is a left-wing writer that I have a lot of time for, because he tries to approach issues rationally rather than ideologically. It mentions the petition, and I think it is worth a read.

I read it and as much of the commentary it stirred up as I could stomach. You describe him as a left-wing writer, but that doesn't validate anything he said. His "wing" isn't relevant, the article is and it is counter-productive at the very least. The clearest evidence is how it draws the hate mongers (in support of the article) like flies in the comments.
