I'm not happy with the precedent that would create or for that matter the trouble and divisions it would cause.
A lot of people have voiced their dissatisfaction, using the system. To brush them and their opinions under the carpet is wrong and potentially very dangerous, as said if we vote...

I daresay that quite a few of them would probably like it out of business, but i think you're right, that wouldn't be very good for anyone.
Perhaps some of them want to just reign it in a bit. Most of it's content seems to be in the 'us vs them' style of rhetoric, which isn't very helpful when...
Not sure anyone here is trying to stop the free press, not that technically we have that anyhow.
Isn't it just some citizens voicing their opinion, and possibly a company responding to it? Seems like the right way to do it, in our capitalist democratic society.
If there's anyone to be annoyed...
