[WikiEN-l] Re: A Wikipedia lynching

[Rob Smith]

Fred,

Some good points; it should be noted, I AGF with you and the Committee
during the process.  It's not my place to tell you how to run your bidness,
but it appears now you handed Cberlet a licence to continue his incivility,
as I prophesized.  A modicum of balance in the proceeding could have
helpful.

As for the NLG, it really is a unique organization that doesn't come under
the Subversive Activities Control Board, nonetheless Congressional Records
as late as 1994 refer to it as a "cited Communist Front organization."  I
assume your membership was benign, and likewise you should be afforded the
opportunity to declaim support for Soviet foreign policy.  It's not like
you've been accused of a lynching.
