First off, Bugler, British spellings are not allowed here. Secondly, the article simply summarizes the style used by conservatives on Conservapedia. Please explain how "demonizing negative traits as 'liberal ______'" is not an example of a style used on this website. Saying that my requests for information are "liberal" will only prove my point, and will not contribute to the willingness of you as a conservative to "learn together." --[[User:IlTrovatore|IlTrovatore]] 18:41, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Also, calling conservative style the antithesis of liberal style actually validates the original point made about conservatives establishing clear dichotomies on any issue. Making claims based on actual examples of conservative argumentation does not "amount to liberal vandalism." --[[User:IlTrovatore|IlTrovatore]] 18:46, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Mr. Bugler (for lack of better address) I find your removal of content purely ideological and inappropriate with keeping the idea of a fair and accurate encyclopedia. As per Mr. Schlafly's talk page, both an actual example and citation were used. Please explain why you felt that this material deserved deletion, but the 50+ statements WITHOUT example or citation on the Liberal Style page do not. Your inability to communicate your logic and reasoning behind your changes is completely inappropriate to the MO of all wiki pages. You seem to hide behind a facade of creating balance, when in fact, you are removing it. Please explain your actions. If you are indeed in the right, you should have no problem explaining why you did what you did. --[[User:AndrasK|AndrasK]] 09:22, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

:AndrasK, you make some assumptions in the title which I have removed. I am not beholden to you that I have to obey your orders. I would also point out that I have not edited Liberal Style and am not responsible for any of the content of that article. If you have a problem with it, contact its authors.

I am slightly confused. First of all, let me establish I never ordered you to do anything. I requested clarification, which you have yet to provide.

Before anyone just goes and deletes this is hould be know that this was said -

If that is the case, then you would have no objection to the creation of a "Conservative style" entry? --AndrasK 00:59, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

If the proposed entry is truthful as the liberal style entry is, then I don't mind. In fact, I welcome it. But the proposed entry becomes a magnet for liberal vandalism and liberals won't watch and police their own, then it will be deleted.--Aschlafly 08:25, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Just a heads up, and it is truthful as far as conservative positions on this site. AdenJ 06:24, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

No comment neccessary! Bugler 06:26, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
If you are not willing to discuss then you are in no position to delete, it has long been accepted that a person must justify their removals rather than simply doing it. StatsMsn 06:37, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
The material included is indeed Liberal vandalism. The contents will be deleted. If you wish to make accurate and truthful additions, these will be welcomed. If you restore the article as currently written, you will be blocked. Thank you. Bugler 06:39, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Please elaborate on exactly what is liberal vandalism, and why the contents you keep deleting are untruthful. StatsMsn 06:42, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Constant demands for further and further elaboration of arguments by you and your Liberal chums are not intended to spread enlightenment, nor to answer rational questions, but are purely disruptive in intent. The libellous and untrue nature of the deleted content is obvious to anyone with even half a brain. It has gone, it will stay gone. And if you do not wish to join it, tread carefully. Finis. Bugler 06:45, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Perhaps we have just found the first example for the new entry. StatsMsn 06:46, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
A humourist! Bugler 06:48, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

First off, Bugler, British spellings are not allowed here. Secondly, the article simply summarizes the style used by conservatives on Conservapedia. Please explain how "demonizing negative traits as 'liberal ______'" is not an example of a style used on this website. Saying that my requests for information are "liberal" will only prove my point, and will not contribute to the willingness of you as a conservative to "learn together." --IlTrovatore 18:41, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

It's better than encyclopedic...it's Conservapedic! --Jareddr 23:01, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

There is absolutely no value to this "article". You, or whoever created it, simply made it to be disruptive and to protest the existence of Liberal Style. That is not the way to go. Please go start a deletion discussion at Liberal Style. HenryS 23:09, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Please see DanH's talk page regarding assuming the motivations of the author. --AndrasK 23:13, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

If you are indeed in the right, you should have no problem explaining why you did what you did. --AndrasK 09:22, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

AndrasK, you make some assumptions in the title which I have removed. I am not beholden to you that I have to obey your orders. I would also point out that I have not edited Liberal Style and am not responsible for any of the content of that article. If you have a problem with it, contact its authors.
