[WikiEN-l] re: A cry to save the Asperger's Syndrome page

[MAURICE FRANK]

I have to be allowed to answer the accuracy of what is
said about me, but think it would be sterile to have
the same argument here as we have had in the talk page
concerned.
 
I'm still learning how the 3RR rule works in crisis
situations, and it's actually part of Asperger
Syndrome to interpret rules by logic instead of by a
tribal-type social reading of its meaning. Hence, not
"the letter of 3RR is just the way it is,lump it" but
"does 3RR apply to the letter in a situation where it
doesn't serve its intended purpose?" I kept doing
revert edits because (i) the opposition were a group
who could pool their 3RR rights, hence it was common
sense that I couldn't be handicapped unequally as 1
person defending  against them, (ii) I was reverting
an arbitrary deletion they were repeating every few
minutes, and they were refusing to make any attempt in
talk to negotiate a consensual wording, so the right
of reversion of simple vandalism logically applied.
Most of my edits were not simple reverts to the past,
they were consensual attempts to find new versions
incorporating other users' points on the issue. 

All were done properly logged in except just 1 that
went through as IP accidentally and was still
identifed from my edit summary, so there has never
been any attempt at anonymity and what is Zachary
getting at? As for the edit summariesd Ryan calls
hurtful,they were my defences to the hurtfulness of
the group campaign and gave an ethical case for each
edit.

I have not accused anyone of hurting children, what I
accused was that deletion of the item is an act
against the prevention of hurting children. This is
apparent from the item. I contended logically this
actually made the other side of this edit war illegal.

As can be seen in talk, the edit war was started by a
user called 24.19.0.114, now called ManekiNeko, who
came there out of nowhere and arbitrarily posted a
personal attack on my character, drawn from his own
unsubstantiated prejudice that an issue he knows I
care about does not matter, and from believing some
lies - which he repeated - that are spread by the
Aspies For Freedom site that I and many other aspies
have had serious ethical problems with that are
documented in other places. This user also exposed my
name without consent. This was supposed to justify
deleting a 1-sentence item just because it was by me:
i.e. personal prejudice, and arguing that the sentence
was dangerous to Wikipedia's reputation just because
it was by me! The only issue around Wikipedia's
reputation is that users can't treat each other like
that!

The discussion on it has consisted of personal attacks
ever since. The only arguments given against the item
have been personal attacks or assertions that it is
not important without saying why. and since whe has
thinking an item not important, which another user
thinks is deeply important concerning how children are
treated, been a reason for making such an
out-of-control fuss, not for editing it but for
totally excluding any mention of it? and for a group
vendetta to that effect?

Ryan has shown here too that he is letting personal
dislike cause careless errors in what he says about
me. I'm not a 14-year old who can't get a book
published, at all! I'm 37! and was in the ''early
eighties'' a victim of schoolwork pressures and
long-drawn-out traumas with the school system that
unfairly ruined my chance to complete writing a book
at that age.

The site that Ryan and a couple of others are trying
to tar as a "hate site", has on its front page a legal
commitment to the right to reply for anyone commented
about on it. It is in fact an anti-hate site for
sticking up for personal fairness on other sites.
Getting listed on it is no worse than getting listed
on the blocks page here! - unless of course because
you demonstrably have done something really mean you
haven't got a reply. It is an issue of balance that if
this site, Spectrum Fairness, is not linked to, then
neither are Aspies For Freedom and its offshoot
Autistic Pride Day.

Anyway, I have sent in to this section a new separate
topic, Ethical Need To Reform the 3RR Rule For
Even-Handedness, to make a case to the whole of
Wikipedia for reform of the 3RR rule to pin it down to
work 2-sidedly, as it has not in this case where all
my opponents should have been given blocks on equal
terms alongside me.
