<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your behavior was inappropriate, not mine. You're
interjecting yourself into this debate led by JTD, Tannin, and me on one side
and Fred Bauder on another. You have faint understanding of what's going on and
why the there of use are opposing Fred's attempt to POV the articles on China
and Communist state with his shoddy material by the natures of the
misrepresentations (euphemisms for far worse adjectives that I could direct
against your statements at the moment) that you are spewing on the mailing list.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are claiming that my opposition to Fred's
material stems from my own POV, you are grossly mistaken. I don't give a damn
whether Communism is presented favorably or not in this article or any article
and do not have strong partisan feelings about the subject. Even if he were
attempting to post my own material to that site borrowed from another article
I'd join the opposition against those attempts. Actually, I have done far more
work than Fred Bauder on Wikipedia that could be perceived as
<STRONG>anti</STRONG>-Communist by non-academic readers of history.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you think that I have a pro-Communist POV that I
try to insert in articles, do you think that JTD, Tannin, Tarquin, and Jimmy
Wales are also rabid Communists trying to portray Communist history from a
sympathetic point of view? The have also agreed that Fred's additions were not
NPOV and don't belong in the article on Communist state. Why are you selectively
directing those charges against me?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't want to become a sysop because I have any
personal or political agendas either. Once again, those charges are
slanderous.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not going to make a single edit to Wikipedia
until Mav apologizes. I don't deserve this kind of treatment for volunteering my
time to make sure that a couple of articles are professionally written,
accurate, balanced, and follow proper academic standards.</FONT></DIV>
