Who said that signing a petition will cause an action as somebody using
a baseball bat on EA's knee's?  I do not see a petition as being either
politically nor publically harmful.

I think you're looking at the issue wrong.  If a large party signs a
petition or a complaint about something and people actually take the
time to do something, most people are sometimes surprised by the
response and may actually fix something.

Do you live in a communist country that hinders free speech or what???

eh. that quote reminds me of WWII (with all this crap going on).

A statement from the WWII era might read as such, "What's all this fuss
about just a few jews missing from society?" lol  I can go "on and on"
about that era as I've studied some political science.

bah.  consumers pay the $$$ and there is a demand for a
product/service.  people are just voicing that they want a product.

your statement is similar to me saying, "Bah. Who needs Windows
Updates?"  (my point being, updates to code are there for the demand for
security as a linux server update is requested by the consumers becuase
they too have a demand for this also!).

The last thing i'd like to say is that the only person whom knows if
Ryan is doing a good job would be Ryan's boss himself.  I have no idea
whom ryan is and for all i know, his boss's name is Sgt Carter (no
offense ryan ;-).
