The racially offensive words were listed on Downing Street's website as the "name" of a signatory.</p>
<p>However No.10 still refuse to take out the petitioners' threat of <a href="http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ScrapMegaMosque/">"terrible violence and suffering"</a> should the so-called mega-mosque go ahead in Stratford, east London.</p>
<p>Downing Street's webmaster has not responded to two emails from <em>Blink</em>, but earlier this month the webmaster told a reader: "Having accepted the petition under the terms and<br />
conditions of the time, we cannot now reject it under rules introduced later.</p>
<p>"However, the issues raised in the petition will be dealt with in<br />
the response sent to all who sign when the petition closes."</p>
<p>But today's action, removing the words "KILL ALL N*****S" from the signatures list, shows that No.10 can intervene.</p>
<p>In further developments, the petitioner Jill Barham's English Rose blog, which was full of vile anti-Muslim tirades, was closed today. It is possible the content will be moved to a new blog address.</p>
<p><em>Blink</em> had pointed out to Downing Street yesterday that many of the signatries to the mosque petition would have been unaware of the petitioners' extreme-right tendancies, and may not have signed it had they known.</p>
<p>In a third email to Downing Street's webmaster, <em>Blink</em> writes: 'We are again disappointed that you continue not to even acknowledge previous emails, while at the same time responding to others over the same matter.</p>
<p>'Whilst we are pleased that you have removed the words "KILL ALL N*****S" from the signatories list, this action proves that you can amend petitions when you want to.</p>
<p>'We therefore ask you, once again, to remove the words "terrible violence and suffering" from the petition. This is clearly a threat of violence against Muslims, made by a petitioner Jill Barham whose own blog is clear evidence of her far-right tendancies.</p>
<p>'As we have said, had many of the signatries to the mosque petition known of her race hatred they would not have signed the No.10 petition.'</p>
