Robert,
Without any wish to imply any more than just my plain words, I appreciated your email general civil tone.
hope I am clear here :-(
We are currently trying to decide who could help you both.
Robert a écrit:
Martin Harper (MyRedDice) is again censoring the article, "Palestinian views of the peace process". Instead of deleting the entire article, Martin Harper has deleted most of the (verfied) facts and quotes, leaving a skeleton article with vietually no content!
This specific problem was already discussed in detail a few weeks ago. It was decided that when Danny mass deleted this vast amount of information, it amounted to vandalism, or censorship. It was decided that when Zero did the same thing, this too was censorship.
Jimbo, some anonymous folk, and myself made many arguments on simple points: One may not delete verified historical facts and quotes simply because it makes them uncomfortable. You cannot push your political agenda by deletin facts that are inconvenient.
Please re-read Jimbo's many posts on this issue. We cannot have any kind of encyclopedia at all if we mass delete huge amounts of facts and quotes to push political agendas.
Jimbo was very clear that the problem was not one of NPOV, but one of people trying to avoid discussion of certain points altogether. Instead of improving an article, people were trying to make it disappear. That is uncalled for.
I am trying to mitigate the damage caused by Martin, but he is really making a one person censorship campaign his full time job. I am requesting mediation. However, we require mediators who are _not_ avowedly anti-Israel and pro-Arafat, because that is precisely the problem.
We should be discussing _how_ to present facts, not _if_ we should present them! For shame.
