Mav:
Your behavior is 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 three of us 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 I could direct against your statements at the moment) that you are spewing on the mailing list.
If you are claiming that my opposition to Fred�s material is due to my own POV, you are grossly mistaken. I don�t give a damn whether Communism is presented favorably or not on this article or any article and do not have strong partisans feelings about the subject. I have done far more work than Fred Bauder on Wikipedia that could be perceived as anti-Communist by non-academic or non-analytic readers of history. 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.
If you think that I have a pro-Communist POV, do you think that JRT, Tannin, Tarquin, and Jimbo Wales are also rabid Communists trying to portray Communist history from a sympathetic point of view? They 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 these charges against me?
I don�t want to become a sysop because I have any personal and political agendas either. Once again, those charges are slanderous.
I am not going to make a singe edit to Wikipedia until Mav apologizes. I will not press the edit botton on any Wiki page until that happens. 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.
