[Wikipedia-l] Voting for the closing down of Moldovan Wikipedia

Wed Mar 8 00:45:59 UTC 2006

Now it seems Dpotop is engaging in personal attacks:

"I suggest Moldovan users go there, because Node_ue is again spreading
FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), which will make admins not to
accept the deletion, even though he is alone. His family must have
very strong anti-romanian feelings."

My family? Anti-Romanian feelings? Just because I support the
existance of Cyrillic content, means I hate all Romanians? Sorry, but
some of the conclusions people have drawn about me throught this
debate are crazy.

I've been accused of being a KGB agent, a Stalinist, a Smirnovist
agent, a Russian spy. Most of the accusations were by... Romanians! Do
I hate Romanians? No.

There are a few people online I don't like, and some of them happen to
be Romanians. On the other hand, there are many Romanians who I do
like. My feelings re:Cyrillic, Moldova, and Moldovan are totally
irrelevant.
