Uh-oh. It appears this controversy took off following my addition of a URL to the [[Kenneth Bigley]] article, see this diff:

If my actions triggered this dispute, then I am '''extremely''' sorry for this and I would like to apologize unreservedly. It was not my intention to launch a destructive controversy. I only added the (admittedly controversial) reference after [[RTÉ News]] reported that the terrorists had released a final video of Mr. Bigley. I did not add a live link and only added the video following the precedents set by other hostage articles. But apparently what I did was enough to prompt questionable activity -- I seem to have opened a can of worms.

PS: Since the poster to this list has made legal threats to us here, should he be banned from this list? Making legal threats is against our policy, after all.
