Actually much of your post was mis-targeted rhetoric on NPOV. I counted 6
times you quoted David Gerard saying the same point (which is dissected
above).You did discuss Alan Cabal... yet each time it seemed the format was
this:
"Alan Cabal is horribly treated <cite>, and so here's /another/ quote of
David Gerard saying he sees NPOV as a major innovation of Wikipedia".
One could be forgiven for believing your post wasn't really about Alan at
all.

Who knows how many other
Wikipedia articles are being treated in such a way, and only if people
come forward will we get a good idea.

Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] NPOV is a big lie
This is (when stripped down) basically a "straw man" post. It uses quotes
by
others saying "A"as a rhetoric device in a question where the issue isn't
"A" at all, and in effect, conflates the two to try and make its point. It
then presents its point as made when in fact it hasn't made it at all, nor
even contains any attempt to do so. It's either sloppy logic or a rhetoric
device. Either way it has no place in honest communication, except as a
mistake to be retracted when spotted.
