[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia article on [[Santorum (neologism)]]

[gmbh0000 at gmail.com]

Man, I'm not even for us having an individual article on this-it belongs in the Rick Santorum or Dan Savage articles-but this relentless barrage of bad faith assumptions is ridiculous. You're inferring a conspiracy to smear Santorum by enlarging the article. I hope you realize you're alienating people who would have supported the original position that the article wasn't worthy of Wikipedia. At this point, I'm staying clear of the Santorum neologism article by a good ten feet. This 'debate' isn't worthy of the mailing list.

I believe you will have a hard time justifying your claim that my comment is
false (not to mention that it is a slur). It should be easy to show that the
article is curated by at least one, and probably several, biased
anti-Santorum contributors.
