I recommend to anybody wanting to know something about Republican Sinn Féin history, to look at the previous versions of this page before the thought police deleted the article "A Short History of Republican Sinn Féin."  Try to have a look at the article quoting from Éamon McCann, it really shows what good writing should be, not like what we have to endure on the main article here.  Its funny how Damac and Demiurge have left a cut and paste from Brian Feeney's book "Sinn Féin 100 Turbulent Years."  No Worries about copy right here.  guess it has nothing to do with the fact that the case they are trying to present, that Adams didnt expel himself in 1986, is entirely dependant on this quote from his book.  That it is a weak case is obvious - thats why they have deleted all my efforts to set the record straight and have now threatened to ban me from Wikipedia.
