Albania, demographic section dispute
[edit]Your edits at the demographics section of Albania have crossed the disruption threshold. Your insistence on quoting the EUDO source verbatim (a violation of WP:COPYVIO, and your insistence on supressing other sources (such as the Balkan Chronicle) are tendentious and need to stop. The main opposition to including ethnicity in the census came from the ultra-nationalist Red and Black Alliance, and this is well known and sourced. What kind of "intellectuals" and "civil society" groups would oppose so strenuously the right of citizens to freely declare their ethnic affiliation? Only nationalists would. Stop trying to suppress information, and stop reverting, or things will get ugly for you very quickly. Athenean (talk) 21:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Athenean, the fact that i didn't warn you of previews biased disruptions but instead made numerous invitations to you and other users for discussion in the talk page demonstrates that i was rather hoping for civility, a rational discussion and yes some basic objectivity. Indeed, i was quite aware of your partisan and ethnocentric stances as i have viewed your comments and other biased "contributions" to this page and the pages of other Greece's bordering countries. Needles to say that this pattern shows that at the very least that you are misinformed if not deliberately pushing for your ethnocentric views. Regarding my supposed verbatim quotes, i have to say that we in academia quote sources at full as long as they are indicated as such and of course we are subject to peer review so i highly doubt that you have a higher standard. Also i would like to point to the obvious which is that i was not by any means removing (Balkan Chronicle) because i'm tendentious, i was removing it because you insisted on placing it in the middle of a full quote and that is quite misleading to simply wrong. Surely you have noticed that when you placed it at its opportune place i more than welcomed it. Now i would proceed in more explanations but seeing that you have refused to commence civil discussions but instead resorted to threats i will stop here. However, I will have you know that i find your threats simply childish and that i am more than comfortable in my objectivity as well as in my abilities to defend my point of view. Please consider this your first warning and a friendly suggestion to stop threats and instead resort to arguments. Allow me to assure you that threats not only will not hold me back but are a strong incentive for me to continue. You don't remember but your haste into disrupting a simple edit of mine a while back and unexplained claiming my POV pushed me into all this in the first place so please expect the same.
