[WikiEN-l] User:Neutrality NPOV/Abuse of Administrator Power

Thu Mar 24 14:36:21 UTC 2005

On the Terri Schiavo page Neutrality repeatedly deletes items that are cited
without comment on the talk page.  When I complained about this Neutrality
blocked me for vandalism.  This is out of hand.

Powerline and Jim Geraghty have raised allegations about the Republican
"talking points memorandum" about the poltical ramifications of the Schiavo
case possibly being a fake. This is sourced and should not be deleted.

This is why I have been accused of vandalism.  Apparently Neutrality did not
like what I wrote and blocked me.  Here's the note I left on the talk page
of "Politics and Pundits" in the Schiavo article and User: SanPaulo 1
comment in response:

Powerline (blog), Jim Geraghty of National Review Online, and Michelle
Malkin have raised allegations of the talking memo being a potential
forgery. So has Mickey Kaus at Slate (Magazine). For some reason
User:Neutrality keeps deleting it without comment. It may or may not be
true, but the allegations have been made and are newsworthy.

I've changed it back after the Powerline passage was deleted. I agree with
the memo, BUT I want to be neutral. Saopaulo1 08:12, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
