[WikiEN-l] Reithy is a problem

[John Lee]

I agree. As someone who has the [[United States Libertarian Party]] 
article on my watchlist, I can attest Reithy has been trying to push his 
POV for the past few weeks, albeit becoming more stealthy since the RFC 
and RFAr. In the most recent example, he placed the results for Michael 
Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate for US President, in the lead 
section, noting that he did "poorly". Such an addition biases the 
article by emphasising the party's weaknesses from the start, and was 
completely irrelevant in the lead in the first place (does the 
Republican party's article have Bush's results for the election in the 
lead section?). Reithy's been extremely rude to anyone who disagrees 
with his ideas about the Libertarians, and has publicly accused 
Wikipedia of pushing Libertarian POV.
