Just you. The only thing Michael New represents to me is the lack of taking
responsibility for ones actions which seems to be so prevalent in the younger
Americans today. He gambled and lost. Had he won I'd still think him less of
an American. To get out of a deployment by digging up something so small and
trival (which turns out to be completely false to boot!) is nothing short of
just being a coward in my opinion.

What was there to answer to? I gather from your post that you are not
intelligent enough to see that an individual who signs a petition need not make
further comments. The fact that you have to ask why really shows you to be
extremely unintelligent. If you can not understand something that simple it's
hardly likely that you would understand any reply I might make.
And here is just one small example of your supreme stupidity;

Signing a petition means squat. Anyone could walk up and slap anyone else's
name on a list of other names. Some people chose to leave comments, others
didn't. Just wondering if they were silent or you choose to do a bit of
selective editing in line with your censorship ideals. At any rate, we may be
in a race to the bottom in your eyes, but we're both simply trying to get down
to your level and hopefully understand your particular type of mental illness
and paranoia better.

Just think of the individuals who did go to the site and could see that for
