- Generalized griping about the SPLC doesn't constitute specific suggestion for article improvement, nor are claims that editors are working for the SPLC. Acroterion (talk) 20:53, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
Reply: If memory serves me correctly, my comments were to the effect that it was inappropriate for article writers to cite the SPLC as if it were a universally-accepted neutral observer when it is well established that it is a highly biased organization with a clearly stated “progressive” agenda. The implication is that Wiki contributors should eschew such partisanship in favour of a more balanced discussion. Particular articles aside, my long-term goal is clearly to promote a less tendentious Wikipedia, thus preserving whatever reputation it still retains as a resource of impartial judgment.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Zoë Quinn, you may be blocked from editing. Woodroar (talk) 03:07, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Reply: Kindly refresh my memory as to the content of the “inappropriate" comments, since you have evidently deleted them. I can only recall that the Zoe Quinn article impressed me as a highly sympathetic and hence unprofessional bit of reporting with no representation of the opposing case. And please be so good as to edify me as to who you are, precisely - the writer of the article in question? That might ex[plain your characterization of my input as “disruptive.” Disruptive of what, exactly - your ideological bubble? Of course,you could simply cancel me as you so magisterially threaten to do, since I’m sure you’ll find this reply just as “disruptive." Go ahead - make my day!
