I was the various users MakeTime, TakeTwo, TakeThree, JanEngerlund and HarrietJones, all of whom are blocked[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AMakeTime][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3ATakeTwo][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3ATakeThree][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AJanEngerlund][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AHarrietJones].    My crime was to post a review of [[Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed]] by ''Time'' magazine in the Conservapedia article about the movie.  Although an undeniably negative review of the movie, I [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=prev&oldid=433362 posted a selection of quotes from the review] in the already existing 'Reviews' section of the ''Expelled'' article.  One would imagine  an uncontroversial addition to an article - no matter how disagreeable the opinion, which is after all what a movie review is - would be a review by the biggest-selling weekly news magazine in America.

He then [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=prev&oldid=433931 removed the review], stating there was "no evidence" Stein says this - despite not having seen the movie himself.  (At this point in time, the movie had been seen by the journalist concerned, but could not have been seen by Mr.Poor as it had not yet been released).  He further accused the reviewer of [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=next&oldid=434027 "putting words in Steins mouth"].  This unfounded opinion was [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=next&oldid=434179 then placed in the 'encyclopedia' article].

A debate on the Talk page began between Ed Poor[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=434041&oldid=434034], ASchalfly[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=434034&oldid=434032] and myself[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=434047&oldid=434041][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=434102&oldid=434078][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed&diff=434112&oldid=434106], where I was accused of supporting a viewpoint on Intelligent Design and/or Evolution - which was never my position, and nor did I ever proclaim an opinion on such matters.  I continued to simply argue for the review to be included.  I was repeatedly  blocked for arguing that whether or not one agreed with the review, it should remain in the the article for Fair Balance, and for pointing out that it was not me who quoted Stein, but the reviewer, who was in fact the only one of the three of us who ''could'' know what Stein says n the movie.  The reason given for the blocks was "misquoting", despite the fact that I only ever posted direct transcriptions from the ''Time'' magazine review.
