Hello,

I'm quite upset writting this.
I'm not sure who to write too,... so please excuse my briefness.

AndyL has been making Facist links to the Canadian Ensign page of Wikipedia.


AndyL added this entry,... and my "dispute of it" got me banned from Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Ensign#Canada
In recent years many far-right and neo-Nazi groups in Canada, particularly those affiliated to Paul Fromm, have adopted the Canadian Red Ensign as a symbol of their movement meant to emphasise what they assert is their adherence to traditional Canadian values.

I find myself very angry at AndyL out-of-hand linking the Canadian Red Ensign to "these people", on a basis, that in my opinion is quite "flimpsy" to say the least.  I though Wikipedia was a medium for the exchange of true facts,... not biased propaganda.

I'm not sure how to proceed,... except to say,...

I don't care about getting my Wikipedia ban lifted or my membership back anymore,
It is clear I'm not welcome here,

I just request that AndyL's slander of our past Canadian Red Ensign be considered for "editing", or removal.


Take care, and agian, I'm sorry to bother you,
Don
