Request for a little help

Hello, Oilyguy. In passing, I noted that in some posting in April (and, I'm sorry, but I've lost it), you said you had found user WeldNeck's blog on Cultural Marxism. I wonder whether you could direct me to it, and advise how you know it's his. Many thanks. Best, Charles J. Hanley 22:11, 22 May 2015 (UTC) Cjhanley (talk)

Thanks so much, Oilyguy, regarding WeldNeck. (I, too, am not very good at WP's "innards," and that's a big reason I wasn't able, a couple of years ago, to get the WP community to take action against him. I haven't time to attend WP Litigators Night School.) One hears a lot from the regulars, "Don't do ad hominem attacks." But too much "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is naive, leaving WP articles open to corruption by ideologues and worse. Thanks again. Best.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Donald Sterling. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 04:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
