We need to start cracking down on contributors who do this.
I'm talking about the dozens of places in which environmentalist
contributors keep inserting their unattributed claim that there is
a
CONSENSUS that supports their POV. I'm talking about PhD scientists
like
William Connolley who insert statemnts like "Singer is wrong" into
articles instead of NAMING the scientists who disagree with Singer
and
saying WHY they disagree.
I've tried being cordial affable. I've tried patiently explaining
NPOV.
Nothing works. These advocates keep injecting their POV back into
the
articles, even using smear tactics against scientists who report
findings which disagree with environmentalist POV.
I can't stop three dozen other contributors from injecting bias
into the
scientific articles relating to the environment. Not by myself --
not by
slowly and patiently undoing each mistake and explaining it. I'm
outnumbered and outgunned.
I'm going to start issuing official warnings to NPOV violators. If
that
doesn't slow them down, I'm going to suspend them -- give them a
temporary ban.
Jimbo keeps saying he's sorry to see me go and happy to see me
back.
Well, I call on him to back me up -- or fire me.
Document their activities, and take'em down. If they want to argue
their case, they can go the the arbitration committee.
