**What do you think about this proposal for the disputed section: John Kerry/Neutrality? What exactly is wrong with that section?
:::::::: It's too long. It's too wishy-washy. It softens this up too much.

thread_title: Second Response to Cecropia

message: Even the mere fact that you so doggedly insist that your writing (and only your writing) on these disputed sections has been "unbiased" shouts out loudly as to how profoundly biased you indeed are.  
But since you want to write, why don't you write a sample 'Medal Toss' one and a sample '1971 VVAW'and post them here. I will do the same and we will see if we can merge them into something we all can accept.
Further, if you were to reflect on this and also your immediately above comments; the ones wherein you imply that I am a "troll" and that you are somehow more 'equal' because you are established, I suggest that therein is the crux of why you have kept at the task of deleting my posts to those sections, even though at one point in the middle of this your talk page said you were going to stop... the crux of this is that your pride has been wounded by me, the new guy who trampled on your flower bed of fulsome praise for Kerry. 
The simple truth remains that I have delivered a rational summary of documented facts. The only bona-fide dispute is than certain people don't like my editorial tone. It is incontrovertable that ABC News and NY Times did in fact report those stories which I have linked to.
You aren't telling me that you feel your mind is too weak to craft a truthful article that you'd accept, but one which does indeed referrence to my links, are you?
If so, perhaps you are not up to the task of having reversion power and/or being an editor. Perhaps you would be more comfortable reverting yourself to troll status. 
That is what you implied I am, is it not?

message: In fact, the VVAW themselves could be properly interpreted to back up PRECISELY what I have been saying which is: Kerry was still active with VVAW sometime into 1972.
FYI: Read this!

replies: text: It says "by 1972" Kerry had moved on. I would normally parse that as equivalent to "at some point before 1972".  It's essentially ambiguous phrasing.67.180.24.204 03:25, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  And this is why the word "by" was carefully chosen, If they were willing to say what you are now thinking, they would have said it. However, they did not, because they know it's not true. Kerry left no sooner than Jan. 26th, 1972 as evidenced by a NY Times article I have linked to in the disscusion which is going on (and also linked to below). Remember, it's also true to say that by 1970, the Beatles had broken up. Of course it was Dec 31st, 1970 that McCartney sued the other three for dissolution of the group and that was the beginning point of the final break up. Same with Kerry, it's not enough that he simply drifted away from VVAW, what matters is when he actually stopped saying he was with them. Kerry was still saying to NY Times on 1/26/72 that he was a VVAW leader. Rex071404 07:30, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ok everybody, even the current VVAW web site seems to strongly imply that Kerry did NOT quit in July, 1971
