I am
beginning to lose my patience with the length and contentiousness of this
thread.
Rick,
please don't fan the flames any more; give it a rest,
please.
Libertarian, please try to understand that Wikipedia is not a place to
"post" your point of view or argue about it. We are trying to write neutral
articles about topics.
If
there is controversy about a topic you care deeply about, you have some
choices:
1.
Don't write about it here, if you can't accept our Neutral Point Of View (NPOV)
editorial policy.
2.
Stop and ask for help, every time someone reverts one of your edits. An
experience writer (like me :-) will come to your aid, and help you revise your
edit so that it is accepted by others.
There
is no third way. Complaining about how everyone is unfair will never get you
anywhere, and eventually you will either be hounded out (as it will seem) or get
kicked out (if you get so upset that you start deliberately breaking the
rules).
I
think you ought to try option #2: pick ONE SMALL
PROBLEM and ask about it. Then stop. And wait. Give people time to respond.
If the
problem really is OTHER PEOPLE, I can persuade them (usually) or make them (if
it's important enough). But you have to slow down and quiet down enough to let
me work. Otherwise, I can't help you.
