== Suggestion for a compromise == 

 I really do not understand what it is about this paragraph that ER MD objects to, but in the spirit of compromise, I offer the following.  I will limit my comments in the article, for one month, to conservatism before 1900, and delete from the Criticism of Conservatism section all references to events and persons after 1900.  In return, you ER MD, stop blanking the section for at least one month.  If we both are happy with the result, we can extend the truce.  What do you say?
