Discussion:
There is another editor named Edgarde who won't compromise toward making a mutually agreeable definition of Sex tourism, and he keeps asking me to revert the whole page. He wouldn't make any efforts at all toward developing a neutral point of view. Instead, I seriously suspect he is telling all his Wikipedia friends to gang-up on me. I'm new to Wikipedia. Since the dispute escalation all, the people who comment have taken his side, much too closely, supporting his view more than seems natural.

He hasn't giving any examples to support his views, but instead he posts judgments and allegations about me, and has insulted me a few times. He insults my link, Sly Traveler and calls it spam, when the Wikipedia is Not a Soapbox section says you can have commercial links that are relevant to the topic.

I think he is just trying to escalation the dispute for his entertainment, since his demands are so unreasonable. All he has done is asked to revert the topic over and over, when I try to reason with him. I have tried my best to have good faith with him, but he is just beyond reason. Please see our discussion on the talkpage of Sex tourism.

I need someone to help me defend myself with knowledge of how to fairly settle disputes on Wikipedia, and so that my contributions are read without unbiased.


 * The despute was nearly resolved today, but Edgard continued it. Please see the Sex Tourism talkpage.  This is developing at a faster pace than I can keep up to date in my explaination.
