The statist jerks at the FSP won't even allow NAMBLA to give a talk about the wholesomeness of man-boy love. What a bunch of prudes!

Free Speech only needs protection when it is something you do not like. Regardless of the issue at hand, no one should be banned because they have ideas outside the tribal norm.

I learned about FSP through Ian and Mark on Free Talk Live. If it weren't for Ian, and FTL, I would never have known or become interested in the concept of the FSP, or known about Porcfest. I'd imagine that many folks have Free Talk Live to thank for knowing about what is going on in New Hampshire, and for that, I sign this petition. I pledged in 2012 at the Ron Paul rally. My family went to Porcfest in 2013 and 2014. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I regretted not attending last year, and was looking forward to trying to make it this year, but this business with Ian has left me very perplexed and unsure of how I feel about the FSP now. Without FTL there, it wouldn't seem like Porcfest at all. I think it was a mistake to ban Ian from attending.

The FSP unfairly banned me and Michael Mikkelsen from PorcFest because of our "surprise sex activism". PorcFest should be open to dissenting voices, especially in the form of whispers and giggles outside your tent in the middle of the night.

There have been seriously disappointing developments in the FSP.

These bans overstep the bounds of the authority that the FSP community entrusted to the organizing committee. FSP, Inc. is just the vehicle, not the voice.

I hope that the Porcfest organizers seriously consider allowing people they disagree with to attend Porcfest. The decision to ban Ian has made many people very weary of the organizers and the FSP. Who will they ban next and for what reason? Will the reason be something as trivial and vague as a difference of opinion? I certainly wouldn't want to stick around and find out. I will continue to boycott this event until they cease banning people for dissenting views.

Honorable free people will need to coordinate differing voices rather than shut them out if Liberty is to be expanded and elaborated.

Yes, please let us into Porcfest. So what if some of us want to diddle young teens? It isn't pedophilia, it's just ephebophia, LOOK IT UP ON WIKIPEDIA GUYS! It's totally not the same thing or creepy at all!

Kids are our future. My future is being anally raped in prison. But Ian's should be having sex with young teens because he provided that service himself at 10 years of age for video games. It's voluntary maaaan!

My respect for fsp is on the decline. This is rediculous.

All non-violent voices should be heard bad ideas will sort themselves out.

Roger Ver recently stated that he has been dissuaded from attending Porcfest this year because Ian was banned. Roger and Ian were two of the activists I was most interested in seeing, and I won't be going unless you reverse this nonsense with an apology.

What's freedom without the ability to say things people disagree with?
