response to false charges by liberals
::I've just had valid edits to the Ben Stein article, which contained in-context quotes from him on a Christina interview show, removed by Ed Poor without a valid reason. Stein's quote was controversial, but presented fairly, cited properly, and came from a conservative source! Even the Christian host was stating his approval, so what this comes down to is that quotes are going to be censored based on the subjective views of some people who freely use baseless quotes in other contexts themselves. Where's the conservative respect for expression over censorship? --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 16:15, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

::#The joke's on you because when I saw the movie I took notes, and (sure enough) the reviewer had misquoted Stein by putting words in his mouth. Lucky guess? Or just common sense.
::#What was the context? I saw an excerpt, edited down just to the portion which makes Stein '''seem''' to attack science itself. Are you sure you know whether (a) he is anti-science, as your out-of-context quote implies or (b) he worries that scientific ideas can be abused to justify horrible things?
::I need answers to all my questions (here and on various talk pages) before you contribute any more to articles. Consider yourself on probation for suspected sabotage. It's one thing to present alternate views - it's another to turn articles into debates. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 17:37, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
