3 July 2009 UTC Sorry but issues such as the use of terms that have little to no relation to the facts described the most gross misappropriation being genocide are really much more problematic that the not especially controversial precedent And I don t understand how issues like this has anything to do with Tismaneanu Some of the accusation from the most disgusting like his origins to the more down to earth ones like his opinions before emigrating and his dubious positions in the 2000 s are indeed about the person VT but most of the legit criticism is against the Report as a whole Shafir or most of the guys in Iluzia You may be too emotionally connected to that article as in you wrote most of it spent a lot of time researching and naturally you must feel proud about your work to see its flaws Try getting some neutral feedback like randomly choose one of the most active wiki contributors and ask him to review it Badea is paid because his show attracts a lot of audience so the channel gets a lot from sales revenues VT was also paid for his work in the commission even if directly such as free room in a top hotel free transportation copyright fees for the Humanitas edition and probably he s still getting money there s an optional course is Ro schools based on the report so he gets royalties from there too a true Roller of the 21st century You ll never see Badea attacking Voiculescu or the PC but neither you ll see VT attacking Basescu or his party Your and VT s defenders generally reductio ad Hitlerum is quite self evident man you even used the f word what further proof do you need You always try to diminish the criticism by boasting the ludicrous far right criticism and diminishing that from other ideological positions Once I read a blog post by VT He virtually put everyone who dared to criticize the report on the same level with CVT reduction ad Vadimum is just a Romanian way to reductio ad Hitlerum and it s pretty weak for an unconditionally accepted work Now we re discussing Romanian politics I m accusing you of nothing I m just saying the VT article you mostly wrote may lead the reader to a certain conclusion which is not actually a neutral one 23 35
