No, not just that. I understand your position to be that the blog is
worthy of mention in the text but not worthy of a link. However, there
are other actors in this drama, who are the people who wish to have
all mention removed. They are the people I was reverting when you
blocked me for 3RR.

PS: If you look back to my edit to [[Anne Milton]] on 5 October, and
compare it with how the article stood immediately before Twobells'
contribution, where does that leave your still unproven theory that
the reason I want the blog mentioned is that I have a political
animus against Anne Milton? The relevant diff is
