Just wait until someone on the other end of this puts up a similar petition and gets a few thousands signatories after posting an inflammatory diary to the right blog or mailing list. FWIW, I have read through the various emails on this (including the emails to the IETF list from M Morphin), and I do not support Harald's action. OTOH, I have changed my mind on the other case based on Mr. Anderson's recent emails, and do support David Kessens's recent action.
