"Multiple editors on this page have repeatedly stated their opinion that this information is not relevant because it is not notable in Gordimer's life. Editors who feel this material should be included need to respond to the various reasons offered why it is not, at this point, notable. The onus is on the editor(s) seeking inclusion of the material. lquilter "

Three or four editors have censored the section in question; ten have maintained it. The three or four are very loud and aggressive, and claim to represent a consensus; that is just the  rhetorical trick known as bandwagoning (claiming that one's opinion represents the popular will, in order to con new people into adopting it, and thus bring about a self-fulfilling prophecy).

But consider this. The censors became so smug that they inspired me to do some research a day or two ago (see my earlier note for date). It took me only minutes to learn that all whites are being targeted as part of a campaign of state-sanctioned racial expropriation and genocide. And so, the significance of the attack on Gordimer actually resides within a context that is staggeringly larger and more important than I had previously known. And yet, the censors are unmoved by this news. Imagine if the races were reversed. They would be shouting from the rooftops about the attack. But they do not want anyone to know about the South African genocide. Apparently, some cases of genocide are more equal than others.

"Editors who feel this material should be included need to respond to the various reasons offered why it is not, at this point, notable."

As lquilter well knows, I have responded many times. He is simply trying to rewrite history.

"The onus is on the editor(s) seeking inclusion of the material." 

The heck it is. You and your two or three comrades have repeatedly deleted what nine people had worked on, before I ever came along. As you well know, I only got involved in this, because I was disgusted by your censorship; I still am. It is you and your comrades who must justify your campaign to suppress all mention of this horrible incident, and the campaign out of which it grew.
