It doesn't matter whether he stops making movies or not. Uwe Boll is not a man. He is not his movies. He is only his reputation. I have never seen one of his movies, but I know they're terrible because that's who Uwe Boll is. 

Has anyone actually claimed to hate Uwe Boll though? The petition is just to stop him making movies, not to extinguish him from the planet. I have seen trailers to his movies and they were enough for me to sign my name, although I do kinda agree with Donte. It would be horrible to be a film maker with so little respect that people are actually petitioning to stop doing the thing you love.  

that petition would only serve to show that (at least) one million people care strongly about Uwe Boll... if anything, the one thing that could possibly come out of it is a biopic on the life of Uwe Boll

Yeah, I'm not going to sign it. Not because I like his films, in fact, I haven't even seen one of them. Nope, I will not sign because once you show that his "art" has affected ya in one way or another, he has done his job. So, I'll just stay neutral and impartial in this matter. 

Exactly. And hence having one million people showing strong feelings either way regarding Uwe Boll will keep him in the film industry. 

Signing that thing isn't worth the effort 

Just to make things clear.. I would DEFINITELY sign that petition. 

So, I'll just stay neutral and impartial in this matter. 

and then there's the moral debate of even responding to this thread or not

Err, you are joking, right NSpannaus? (a moral debate over responding to a thread?)

hyperbole.. but its true that theres no such thing as bad press 

You don't think 1 million people signing a petition begging you to bugger off is bad press?  

Haha, Uwe is a little cranky about the whole thing. He made a video response, in which he explains that he bets there could be a 'pro-Boll' petition that would also gain a million signatures. Also, he calls Michael Bay a f***ing retard, and proclaims himself the only real genius in the business, which is pretty funny. http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=8203&count=0
