thf i have not perused wikipedia lately but when i did i saw some cooler and sane heads have seemingly prevailed including yours thf was the first aei director i had the misfortune to encounter when he saw my edits which he didn't like he came after me with a vengeance and lobbied for me to be banned on wikipedia he defamed me on his talk site yes i am aware of the meaning of the word since i also am an attorney it was defamation libel to be exact and removed after a time when i threatened suit i know wiki doesn't like that but it reaps what it sows thf threatened me and my husband with frivolous litigation outside of wikipedia and we called him on it we never heard from him again at that time wiki cliques would not or could not listen to what i had to say and what had occurred i have no idea if i am banned or not and don't care at this point after the kafkaesque experience i never want to edit again here that said i am grateful that you and it appears some others were able to expose him for what he is even if it took a different issue entirely i had no particular interest in the michael moore debate the aei is one of the most powerful political influences in the republican party thf was quite an eye opener for me rarely have i ever seen anyone so ruthlessly disparage others with false information i can only guess what he does professionally thf is a public figure his attempt to hide out at wikipedia claiming it was only a hobby was laughable it was astonishing that anyone fell for it but many did good for you for calling him on it maybe there is hope for wikipedia but i'm not holding my breath
