It is not an attempt to get emails and names. It is simply a petition to show a need for sexual harassment awareness. I am petitioning for the library profession as a whole to take sexual harassment seriously and treat it with the same importance that is placed on intellectual freedom. No one is sponsoring the situation and the first logical step as far as I am concerned is to acknowledge the importance of awareness. I hope this clarifies things.

Unfortunately, the "petition" on that website is simply a half dozen sentences basically saying "someone should pay attention to this" without actually suggesting what should happen, who should do it, who is sponsoring the petition, or what would happen to the petition once completed. It looked suspiciously like an attempt to get names and email addresses.

I also think there’s a fair likelihood that the poster may have felt they could not post with their full information due to the sensitive nature of the content. It’s unfortunately the case that there is still a lot of discrimination that victims of sexual harassment face, and I can imagine dozens of reasons someone would be nervous about trying to surface these issues. Hopefully there are other venues and mailing lists where S B can get the word out and gather information to help bring light to a very serious problem.

In this case, there was no signature nor was the email address understandable. Then, the content looked suspicious as well, with a link to yet another understandable thing.
