I live in a small town of approximately 10,000 people & Topix is used for mean spirited gossiping that should be stopped immediately!! If we get enough people to sign the petition to ban topix from our community it will be banned... It's already been banned from many small communities who use Topix to gossip & write mean spirited things about people.. It's not just a matter of interfering with one's freedom of speech , it's about protecting people & their families from hurtful gossip that is NOONE's business!!!
