Moving other people's comments
Willmcw - comments are timestamped responses to earlier comments here. They appear throughout this page in the order they were posted. On more than one occasion you have taken it upon yourself to move my comments to earlier locations in the discussions (for example, here). This is something you appear to do to no other editor's comments but mine. At first I did not see reason to take issue with a few minor changes, but as you have increasingly done this to my comments and no other, it occurs to me that you may not be acting in good faith when you make these changes. I would accordingly appreciate it if you didn't alter the order in which comments other than your own are posted. The evidence page has "sections" that belong to individual participants. This page is for commenting on proposal findings. Thanks for your compliance. Rangerdude 23:30, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Please keep your comments in the Workshop in your own sections. If you wish to engage in discussions, please use the talk pages. Thanks. -Willmcw 23:51, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * There are no individual "sections" in the Workshop page - only "comments by parties" that may be responded to with other signed and timestamped comments. If you wish to group your own comments together that is fine, but please leave other people's comments alone - especially since you are being selective about moving my comments and nobody else's.

 * I won't get into a revert war over it with you. But in the future I request that you please not respond to my comments below mine. I would like to keep our discussions on talk pages. Thanks, -Willmcw 00:33, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The other comments you refer to were short questions from an ArbCom member, not rebuttals far longer than my own comment. I'll ask you to please move it back up to your own coment section. -Willmcw 00:40, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I will post my comments in the order of succession as every other editor involved in this arbitration, save yourself, appears to be doing on this page. SlimVirgin does so here and here and Nobs does so here, yet strangely you only seem to have an issue with my posts. As I told you before, move your own comments as you like but you have neither the business nor the right to move other people's comments at this point in the discussion.

Current wikistalking by Willmcw
If the Arbcom wants to see why my article contributions have lagged during this case, simply look at the following diffs showing Willmcw's immediate harassment of my edits when I attempted to change two articles earlier today in ways that make them more compliant with the principles expressed in this case. I edited the Claremont Institute article to remove off-topic "nested criticisms" (described by Fred Bauder above as inappropriate use of "critics of critics" etc.). Within hours Willmcw followed me there and retaliated by removing a factually relevant contrast of the Ludwig von Mises Institute's beliefs with the Claremont Institute in a dispute they had, and when I restored it he revert warred. I also removed a white supremacist source called the Jubilee Newspaper that Willmcw added to the Morris Dees article along side more mainstream critics of Dees to discredit them. Moments later Willmcw followed me there and began playing ignorant about the Jubilee Newspapers racism. I responded by documenting that they have very offensive anti-semitic and white supremacist material on their website, to which Willmcw responded by accusing me of "original research" and denying the site's racism on account of it not being on the SPLC hate group list. On both of these articles Willmcw's actions were attempts to disrupt my edits. He even went so far as to engage in nitpicking and obfuscation to preserve an inappropriate white supremacist source in an article! Willmcw does stuff just like this almost every time I try to make a good faith edit to improve an article, which makes it nearly impossible for me to edit wikipedia at all since he disrupts everything I do.

More evidence of Willmcw's harassment: - Willmcw responds to my objections over the use of the overtly anti-semitic Jubilee Newspaper by demanding that I remove source references using Thomas DiLorenzo from other articles based on guilt-by-association (in violation of WP:V) attacks. These requests are plainly being made in bad faith and for disruptive reasons. Rangerdude 08:55, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
