Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment.

 * I keep deleting your comments because:


 * 1) They are entirely POV, & not article material.
 * 2) The "External links" section is for  pertinent external links.
 * 3) This is not the place for your mission. I understand that someone down there must have hurt you in some way, probably related to your recent tropical weather. One of them must have been an Elk or something. But that 1) doesn't make all Elks bad, & 2) doesn't negate the millions of dollars & hours of aid they do give.
 * 4) This isn't a soapbox for BPOE to itemize all the good they do, so how is it your soapbox for their neglect?
 * 5) & notice, really, that your only complaint & citation is for what they didn't do. That shows that they were somehow expected to do something, & thus do a lot. Please don't penalize a whole group for not doing enough, when they could just stop doing anything. When is that going to lead to something not happening, like, oh, say, something like the VA Medical Centers, The GI Bill, etc?

Response from rr7780:

The only thing listed on the Elks page in Wikipedia is positive and glowing praises about the Elks. Yet, if you type in Chase Bank in Wikipedia you will see several negative comments about Chase, such as "Chase Sucks". If you type in Sylvia Browne in Wikipedia there are many very negative comments and links about her. I'm certain if I were to do some research I could find many more examples. Yet, there is not one negative comment or link about the Elks. It therefore seems that you are trying to censor any negative press about the Elks and present a one sided view to the point it seems that you may be a member of the Elks.

Since you will not allow any negative posts about the Elks, even though there are negative posts about other topics all over Wikipedia, you leave me no choice but to bring this matter to the attention of the management & oversight of Wikipedia. Please let me know if there is an alternative or if you have another solution.


 * No, really, go ahead, write away. But this isn't a venue for "posting". That, as mentioned above, is the point. Grye 01:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
