==Disclosure of my position== | |||
Leucosticte is a user who creates massive controversy. He supports ''highly unpopular causes.'' However, he also responds to community restraint, usually, if it is civil and rational. He may argue endlessly, given the opportunity, but he is also capable of backing off and simply contributing within site purpose. | |||
My initial work here was to interdict the vandalism, the attack on Leucosticte, which was pure bullying and what I called "terrorism," that is, an attempt to attain ends deemed, by the terrorists, to be so important as to allow massive collateral damage, and whatever extreme action is considered, by them, as necessary. The enemies of Leucosticte have done much worse than what has been seen here. Threats of physical violence have been made, and threats have extended to others seen as defending him. I.e., me. Here, there has merely been gross incivility, vandalism, and revert warring. | My initial work here was to interdict the vandalism, the attack on Leucosticte, which was pure bullying and what I called "terrorism," that is, an attempt to attain ends deemed, by the terrorists, to be so important as to allow massive collateral damage, and whatever extreme action is considered, by them, as necessary.
