There are fundamental differences between Conservapedia and Wikipedia. Including this fact about Maxwell's views illustrates that difference. We let the reader decide, and we do not censor this information here. Wikipedia will welcome those who prefer an environment that censors this information.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:25, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

:WHY IS IT A "LIBERAL DESIRE TO CENSOR"? I'm sorry to shout but I have asked several times and you have just ignored the question. I think I put my position pretty clearly and it has nothing to do with political ideology.
:Regretably you, however, appear to have the attitude that this factlette about Maxwell is of some significance because it promotes your worldview. That is not a legitimate reason for its inclusion. I am sure I have read somewhere here that you are some sort of lawyer. I would have thought that issues of relevance would be second nature to you.
:If you tell me that it is Conservapedia's policy to include reference to evolution in every biographical entry then (whilst I will regard it as bizarre) I will comply. But I will not think it a good policy because it is not scholarly.
:But, if that is not the policy then, in an entry of this length on one of the world's greatest physicists I regard the reference to his views on evolution as just totally out of place. I also regard your suggestion that I am seeking to sensor your views as highly ironic having regard to the well known goings-on around here (including, but not limited to, your threat to me above).
:I am not interested in engaging in an edit war. The problem is that I cannot help but see this matter as being driven by your desire to promote your own worldview overriding your desire for a scholarly article. I would be delighted if you could point out the error in my assessment of the situation. I have a genuine wish to see the best quality entries on this site. I am of the view that the inclusion of Maxwell's views on evolution merely confirm in the minds of a substantial number of readers that scholarship takes a back seat to ideology here. And I regret to say, I think that at the moment they are probably right. --[[User:Horace|Horace]] 03:11, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
