This is inevitably the case in some articles on Conservapedia: including [[Liberal bias]], [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia]] and [[Liberal Hypocrisy]]. However, I do not condone their removal, or changing them in any way, or demand creation of articles such as [[Conservative hypocrisy]] on this domain – we all have a right to purchase a domain and allow who we choose to contribute their views, and which of those views to keep and which to remove; once this is in place, any attempt by others to censor it are a violation of the universal freedom of speech. I merely hope that readers of such articles will not automatically consider them representative, and I hope that the 'powers that be' will not always consider [[Conservative hypocrisy]] an invalid article or a non-existent act.

I also know that the actions described above are entirely natural; they are part of what thought is – if a human does not believe that their opinions are right, then they do not have opinions. I know that it is extremely hard to overcome this seemingly logical process: to look at what others have to say, without prejudice to its validity, and to risk diluting one's own dearly held values in the search for truth. I don't expect that those that I debate with to always do this – I don't expect myself to – but I will always remember that it is possible, sometimes even likely, that I am wrong and others are right, and I hope that others can at least try to also. If some do not, then it will not alter my view of their arguments, or any others which are similar, I ask for you to do the same to me and those who share my views.

I will most likely disagree with many other users. Do not disregard my arguments – I will not yours. But, more importantly, do not consider me any different to you. I am not.
