The petitions were not linked in the original comment. I am not, in this thread, discussing the petitions. That is why I did not reply to the comments that link to the petition. I want to know the rationale behind promulgating (as it were) the aforementioned list.
Well, even if it’s only very slightly effective in incurring a social cost on the involved parties via informing people whose political careers to keep an eye on, it’s certainly unlikely to be less effective than not posting such a list, all else being equal.
