No. There was practically universal agreement that your additions were POV 
in the extreme. On [[Communist state]] people were queuing up to revert 
Fred's inarticulate, mindless POVing of an article. One person described 
what was attempted to be added to the page as 'unbalanced'. Who? Fred 
HIMSELF! He described his own attempted additions with that word.

Because he had been prevented from adding in his propaganda on other pages, 
he sought to do it on [[Communist state]]. Just about everyone (bar of 
course that week's troll visitation from the Adam stable) thought Fred's 
behaviour on that page outrageous, where major changes were slipped in 
marked as minor changes, or at odd hours when no-one might notice. It took 
days and days and days of reversion after reversion after reversion by user 
after user after user to stop Fred in his determination to turn the article 
(which wasn't even on the topic that he and he alone on the planet seemed to 
think it was on) into a bit of commie bashing.

No. People told you over and over and over and over and over and over again 
that (a) your additions were blatently unbalanced, a word you yourself used 
to describe them, and (b) on [[Communist state]] people were queuing up to 
tell you that even if what you were writing was balanced (and it miles from 
that) it was the wrong page for that info. But you would not listen to 
anyone, even Mav who suggesting pages where the stuff you wanted to add in, 
if NPOVed, could be put. In the end it took nearly 20 reversions of your 
blatently OTT POV nonsense by a host of people to get you to stop. And if 
you hadn't stopped then, there was a queue of other users waiting to join in 
and revert as often as necessary. Hardly anyone was supporting you. Everyone 
was been driven mad by your fanatical determination to add in POV material 
into the wrong article and to ignore everyone else, what they said, the 
contents of the talk page, the constant reversions.

How dare you make such an accusation? Your behaviour on those pages was a 
disgrace and an insult to everyone on wiki who tries however unsuccessfully 
on occasion, to produce NPOV stuff, not propaganda.  To compound it all you 
have the balls to make the above statement. You owe me and everyone else you 
libeled a public apology.
