But that would be nazism, removing voices of protest like that

Hardly, its a deliberate attempt to be nasty to qb fans if we are honest, not your ordinary polite opinion!

In a "real" petition (as in actual signatures) I don't think they allow people to comment like that...

So what? These are 'modern', 'electronic' times =P. Besides all the signatures are in a virtual world stored on magnetic media =P. Ultimately they are just weak electromagnetic fields. They are the ones who will get Microsoft to make QB freeware =).
All hail EM fields!

The Qmunity will not move its butt until microsoft starts cracking down on sites which distribute their copyrighted products free of cost i.e. pirate it =P.

Qbasicnews is a fairly quiet forum. It's very very active, but only the same people are very frequent posters. I like it this way myself, since spamming fools are more of a rarity, but we're not going to get a thousand sigs just here alone.
We need to advertise the petition at other sites as well, and let other programmers (that aren't anti-QB) know about it...
