there is nothing more sad then an administrator who bans people just because they have written a superior article let me clear up a few things here first off i am not an ira supporter i am a year old proud former us marine who served my country and i resent being called a terrorist supporter i have never given money to the ira i am irish catholic and i support sinn fein but not the ira i personally do not believe the ira are terrorists in the same veign as the uda uvf hezbollah or al qaida the ira is much more like the iraqi kurds northern alliance jewish irgun french resistence and american revolutionaries i am also not a uda uvf terrorist apologist as jdorney seems to be i also resent being banned just because some wanna be administrator is upset that my article contains more accuracies then his does i have re edited my article and placed all the proper sources page numbers and quotes i have also added to the sources index i have never ment to purposely delete anyones work if i did so it was by accident and i apologize i spent weeks researching this article and alot of it is based on an article i wrote on the ira when i was stationed at camp pendleton back in the rest of it is from newer sources and books i certainly don't mind other people adding to the article but i don't think that my edits should be deleted just because they don't fit with the bias of some editor's and administrators i will be checking back often and if my edits continue to be altered i will inform some senior administrators some of whom are friends of mine i have worked on many other irish and military articles and never had any complaints
