Republican Party (United States)
A discussion section has been made on the article's Talk page concerning your edits and deletions. Shem(talk) 01:16, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Personal remarks
Tlotz, I think you should consider Avoid personal remarks. I would like to discuss the Republican Party article without having to read irritating personal comments which have no bearing on the article. I'm assuming that JamesMLane feels the same way I do. Writing that someone "obviously [does] not believe in free speech" is not a valid debate tactic. Comments like this one will quickly result in people ignoring everything you say, including the valid points. If you continue to twist the discussion to attack James and me, I will simply ignore what you have to say. My patience for ad hominem attacks is limited. Please stay on the topic of the article. If you are unable to have a simple discussion without complaining about "liberal elitests", you will probably feel better on a discussion board such as Free Republic.
