Man, I'm not even for us having an individual article on this-it belongs in the Rick
Santorum or Dan Savage articles-but this relentless barrage of bad faith assumptions is
ridiculous. You're inferring a conspiracy to smear Santorum by enlarging the article.
I hope you realize you're alienating people who would have supported the original
position that the article wasn't worthy of Wikipedia. At this point, I'm staying
clear of the Santorum neologism article by a good ten feet. This 'debate'
isn't worthy of the mailing list.

Well, you lost me right there. This is a terrible slur on both the
editors of the article as well as all the uninvolved editors who have
examined the article and found it compliant with Wikipedia policies.
Surely if this broad slur that you've made is true, then uninvolved
editors on both sides of this issue would have noticed this rampant
bias and its effect on the article. This kind of thing, as well as
earlier emails here from another editor with dark hints about how the
creator of this article also started an article about a gay porn
company, is really distasteful. And ironic that the bold defenders
waving the banner of BLP would defend a living individual by slurring
other living individuals.
I believe you will have a hard time justifying your claim that my comment is
false (not to mention that it is a slur). It should be easy to show that the
article is curated by at least one, and probably several, biased
anti-Santorum contributors.
