thread_title:  McCarthyite 

message: I've removed the link to Leicester Conservative Association, which was being used as a footnote to support the claim regarding Heaton-Harris attending Wolves Poly, as it had an access date of 9 years ago and no longer works. While I don't doubt this is where he studied, I've not been able to find a source: if anyone else has more success, please add it to the Early life and education section ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:25, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

message: In this edit,  claims that Contrary to what the editor [me: ] has claimed, Hansard confirms that Chris Heaton-Harris most definitely spoke in support of the 'UK Direct Seling Association' and its member companies, all of which offer 'MLM' schemes. The cited source is this page from the UK House of Commons Hansard, which notes Heaton-Harris' speech in support of Direct Selling, but makes no mention of Multi-Level Marketing. If Clive Wynne Candy wishes to provide a citation to support the claim that the DSA's member companies all offer "MLM" schemes, he is welcome to do so. Until then, I claim that the linking of this speech to direct support for MLM is not correct and should not be included in this article (a biography of a living person, where standards of verifiability run quite high).

replies: text: OK, the DSA has members who employ MLM techniques. That doesn't exactly equate to Heaton-Harris supporting MLM. (And since MLM is not strictly illegal, why would it matter if he did?) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

text: I suspect that your neutrality in this matter is questionable, at best. MLM is a business model that exists, and is widely supported. While there are abuses of the model, it is not inherently evil, nor is it illegal. If Heaton-Harris supports this type of business model, because many of his constituents are participants, why make a big deal of it? And please cite me the Wikipedia policy that prevents me from using a commercial website that supports the creation of MLMs to cite the stated statistic.

text: What does the Chinese MLM company Tiens have to do with Heaton-Harris' Parliament speech? You clearly are here with an axe to grind, and Wikipedia will not have it. As I noted on your talk page, your edits here have been brought to the attention of the administrators at the neutral point of view noticeboard. I recommend you address any further arguments there.

text: Apparently Mr Candy has strong feelings about the MLM industry and feels the need to add his own interpretation of Mr Heaton-Harris' statements. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:01, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not my point, why is his support of Direct Selling relevant?Slatersteven (talk) 12:03, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's relevant because Mr Candy thinks it is (he is the user who added the material). And Mr Candy thinks it's relevant more for what Heaton-Harris didn't say than for what he did say. As I've pointed out, unless he can find a reliable source that specifically commented on Heaton-Harris' omissions, Mr Candy's own commentary on that matter can only be considered original research and has no place in the article.

replies: text: You are very selective in your citing of policy. I will not engage in an edit war as per WP:EW, but please refrain from vandalising without discussing as per WP:VANDAL. An MP turned government minister such as Heaton-Harris being an outspoken supporter of some business model or sector should be at least as interesting as that he once received an NFL ticket from someone - as detailed in the section above.

text:   Hey, thanks for pointing out that NFL ticket thing -- I've removed that too. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:12, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

text: And the reason I did not pick up on the ticket thing was it was not all in a special section of its own.Slatersteven (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
