I need a favor, could you assist?
I'm being hunted down like an animal, sadly, and I'm wondering whether you can assist before I'm banned from WP. You've seen - and approved - my edis on malinvestment. We've both dealt with BigK Hex's bizarre anti-Austrian censorship. The point is that editors can restore edits from banned editors if they independently consider those edits worthy. You have to defend them, but then reasonable edits that you agree with should easily be able to be defended. This version was effectively accepted by BKH when he deleted the QJAE article. All this version did was to add Rothbard's quote and re-format, but it greatly increased readability - which is why BKH probably deleted it. Your very relevant quote - which established first use of the concept - has been relegated to a footnote for no reason and it reads very poorly now. Could I please ask you to consider reverting to this version which after all was accepted by BKH before he called me a suspected sockppt, which is completely immaterial to the substance of the edits. You certainly won't in any way be associated with me if you revert, if you genuinely consider this version better than the brain damaged version that currently appears. No bad feelings if you don't feel the need to engage BKH but I simply make the offer because we're both interested in the concept of malinvestment and BKH's wikilawyering should not stop the article being improved. Of course I have no problem with you making your own edits, and further improving the article. But at least the current 'evolution-in-reverse' version should be improved. My sincere thanks for considering this. - Jessica&#39;sGems (talk) 09:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
