A key point is this one: ---- Faced with police and city concerns, library director Fleming agreed to turn off the Tor relay temporarily until the board could reconsider. “We need to find out what the community thinks,” he said. “The only groups that have been represented so far are the Police Department and City Hall.” ---- The library's board and staff haven't heard from anyone but law enforcement / government ... so without other viewpoints offering another view they are at least temporarily bowing to that pressure. Now, living in NH and knowing how our local politics work, I'm not sure exactly what a massive online petition is really going to accomplish. If anything, it may just rouse animosity within the local community. (We take "Live Free or Die" pretty seriously here - and that includes being free of outside forces trying to push us to do something!) What really needs to happen is for some citizens of Lebanon, NH to provide an alternative view to the library board.
