With respect, I believe you're a bit misinformed about the relevance of the section you continue to remove. In addition, given what Kathy Shaidle has stated about censorship, could your efforts not be perceived as censorship in and of themselves?

No, you are misinformed about the meaning of the world "controversy."

The word "controversy" by definition means there are two or more opinions and sets of facts being debated in public. Otherwise the word "controversy" has no meaning. See the Wiki entries for Mark Steyn and/or Ann Coulter for sound "controversy" sections which include a) the author's original material AND b) his or her critics' accusations, counter charges, refutations.

Merely quoting another person's writing as de facto "controversial" does not a controversy make, by definition. This is a typical progressive method of "argument" because progressives believe that their worldview is the only legitimate one and any views that contradict their own must be automatically "controversial." Shaidle's opinions are held by some people and not others or else she would not warrant a Wiki entry in the first place. There is no "controversy" unless you can quote these "others" to explain why they disagree with what she has written, perhaps using statistics and counterfacts.

Otherwise, the entry is a non-neutral, one-sided "gotcha" post made up of heavily elipsed one-liners taken out of context. And Wiki values neutrality.

If you wish your entry to remain unmolested, I'd suggest re-naming it "Things Kathy Shaidle Has Written That I Personally Don't Approve Of For Reasons I Don't Care To Elaborate." Otherwise you are being as bad as you think she is.

Remember:

If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it.
