I'm sorry, but this? This just makes me laugh. It's a Petition to Shut down Kingdom of loathing. Apparently it's already been linked to on the forums, but I missed it. ADeadHeart even mentioned that Skully signed it. A fair amount of KoLers have signed it as well, though in jest.
Why? Because it's poorly written and thus very, very funny. Terrible and actually innacurate reasons to shut down the game. Maybe it's a joke petition, somewhat similar to the fake review of X2. Or it's quite possible that this person was serious, yet did not even care to get game aspects right when writing the petition.
Either way? Quite amusing. Some of the early comments are worth reading.
I believe it was a contest that was posted in the forums (link here!), where you have to pretend to be a character, and give a reason why you would want to shut it down. A petition was originally used to collect the entries, but then there was a bunch of stuff that went on (including a petition for the petition), and now entries are through the post in the forums.
I saw it, and was shocked myself. Then I saw the contest a few hours later, and it all made sense.
