Yes, you've said that before. But the fact remains that you are a party political activist editing articles on politicians, and frequently in a way which causes conflict with other editors, and this is not the first time the criticism has been levelled at you either, so perhaps you do have biases and are unable to discern them in your own writing (which would only be human, after all).
Directly contrary to your repeated claims I have not been sanctioned for POV editing. There was no such finding in the arbitration case. Moreover Irishpunktom eventually agreed that he and I had produced a balanced article in the end.
What has often happened is that I have turned a mass of POV into something more closely approximating an encyclopaedia article, and found myself roundly criticised for it solely because the other editor found out my political affiliation and assumed I must be biased - not because they could impugn the merit of the edits but because "well you must be". That was always unfair and was one of the reasons I changed my user name and broke the link to my article.
I note that you, Guy, have made the same unsupported allegation. I also note you now admit to being a member of a different party to me. Hmm.
