Concise:

marked by brevity of expression or statement : free from all elaboration and superfluous detail

Aka, “short”.

The petition absolutely is ‘concise’. You just have no idea what that word means.

Not only that, a long petition containing lots of details has its own drawbacks. For one, fewer people will read it and/or understand it, which will make it easier for detractors to confuse the general public with misinformation.

Concise is synonymous with "to the point". In other words, you don't have to have lots of words, but they do have to be on target which your 3 sentences are not. So, no, it was correct word use on my part.
The fact that you can't argue the VGE's involvement or anything other than a word's definition really doesn't make you look like you have a strong case here lol.
Again, it seems like you have strong feelings, but that doesn't win court cases. Sorry, not sorry.

  The fact that you can’t argue the VGE’s involvement or anything other than a word’s definition really doesn’t make you look like you have a strong case here lol.
  
  So you’re just ignoring all the other points I made earlier? On top of refusing to acknowledge that you don’t know what words you’re using?

  No. The word you are looking for is “succinct”. You’re doubling down harder than PirateGames at this point, and with you including some egotistical snark at the end of every comment and claiming that you can’t possibly be wrong just further demonstrates that you’re a walking example of Dunning-Krüger syndrome with entitlement issues.
  
  Get over yourself. Instead of petulantly whining about a petition on the internet, go and do something actually productive with your life.

    So, I see the ad hominem attacks, but no actual argument of facts. Oh, and the "other points" you made earlier seem to be just you making up what the petition will do. Remember, you have 3 sentences to work from and things like releasing source code doesn't seem to be in those, does it? So, where did you get the source code mention you had? Is there a website with expanded bulletpoints I missed? No? Just something you felt should happen? You do that whole thinking with your feelings a lot, huh?
    
    Well, ad hominem I'm afraid is where you lose the argument in totality.
    Once you start down that path, nothing you say can be taken as a fact.
    You argument with facts/logic, not with emotion.
    Good luck with that petition.
