Who causes who damage? That's who the bad guy is.

so if she is fired and the petioners are successsfully sued they are both damaged. Who's at fault?

Why do some think their rights trump other people's?

Indeed. It seems like a lot of people are thinking that.
Someone putting ina petition to get someone fired is one. Suing those petitioners is another.

As the son of someone raised in New Orleans, I'd actually probably just run over you with the Prius.
Being its a Prius you might even notice. I think those things weigh less than my fat wiener dog (and slower than him too).

So the response to someone using speech to try to get someone fired for speech they don't agree with, is to use your speech to sue them for using their free speech? Getting real hard to tell who the good guy is in that little scenario.

Just because it's being appealed doesn't mean the decision is wrong. You asked for an example and I provided one.

“One who intentionally causes a third person not to perform a contract or not to enter into a prospective contractual relation with another does not interfere improperly with the other’s contractual relation, by giving the third person … truthful information.”

Whether or not TI can be made, I find it troubling that the response to a petition-free speech- would be to shut down that free speech. Thats effectively responding to the statement "I think they should be fired!" with LAWSUIT. How many of us would have been sued over the years with that standard? How many would be sued from posts on this board alone?

Better to counter petition, as others have done on this thread.
