FWIW, I am neutral about whether Simon & Schuster should or shout not publish anyone’s book. Simon & Schuster is a private enterprise and it gets to choose for itself whether to publish or not publish any particular book.
Yes - they are within their legal rights to do this.
I think they're incompetent "professionals" that do not understand their role in society or they don't believe in liberal values.
I have way less respect for them, compared to when I thought they were just generic publishers.

The interesting part is not whether S&S ultimately gets to make their own decision. It's whether you would sign the petition, and whether you'd be glad if S&S backed down due to it, and the economic threat it represents.
So, Ax, would you sign the petition? Would you be glad if S&S backed down due to it?

Hopefully Simon & Schuster will soon be hiring to fill 216 positions.
My thoughts exactly.
Fire every, and I mean every one of them.

No.

Don't care one way or another.
Maybe I should have qualified that by saying "if you worked there". I would be disappointed in my employer if they caved to such a petition.
