"Old lefty" is not a personal remark, it is a political categorisation. The "Old Left" is a political category and is not related to the age of the person belonging to it. When the anon editor denied he was an "old lefty" I accepted that, as the above exchange shows. "Stupid deletion" is not a personal remark either, it is a characterisation of the editor's action. You may disagree with me but that's another matter. Why don't you mediate (if that's what you're here to do) on the substance of the matter (the deletion of factual material from the article) rather than wasting your and my time on trivia?
