		<description>I&#039;m not the issue.  The OIF is, and your support for it.  You have not addressed the legitimate issues I raised.  The scariest is the implication that the ALA should organize to further propagandize: &quot;I worry about ALA’s ability to keep up with IF topics in a digital world....&quot;</description>

		<description>Dan, I had nothing to do with any Wikipedia &quot;gang behavior&quot; except to point out that your edits to certain pages were continually breaking Wikipedia guidelines and your treatment of other editors was borderline abusive. Please feel free to follow-up over email, I do not want to have another drawn out back and forth about this issue in my comments.</description>

		<description>&quot;I am proud of the work the ALA does to support intellectual freedom....&quot;

Does that include when the OIF specifically targets individuals for exclusion from legally mandated requirements?  See http://www.safelibraries.org/unequalaccess.htm  I suppose the ALA&#039;s intellectual freedom is more equal than anyone else&#039;s intellectual freedom.

And purposefully leaving Greg of Shush&#039;s name off an ALA ballot was a masterpiece of election fraud.  At least the ALA (SRRT) had the intellectual freedom to explain why it was denying another ALA member&#039;s intellectual freedom.  You are proud of that? See http://www.shush.ws/wordpress/?p=245 and the subsequent posts.

&quot;One of the things I do on Wikipedia is keep the Library Bill of Rights free from soapboxing and point-of-view hecotring. It’s a tougher job than you might think.&quot;

Was it really &quot;tough&quot; for you to be the person responsible for preventing me from helping to ensure compliance with Wikipedia policy by getting a gang to permanently block me from preventing the ALA&#039;s use of Wikipedia as a professional propaganda tool against Wikipedia&#039;s policy?  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LegitimateAndEvenCompelling#Why_my_banning_from_Wikipedia_by_former_ALA_Councilor_is_wrong

I mean talking about censorship, you and the OIF would know.  I&#039;ll bet you&#039;ll even remove this comment like you have a few others of my comments.

Your comments here indicate to me that you regret the ALA does not have a larger cadre of people who patrol and correct Wikipedia and other such sites to ensure ALA propaganda trumps whatever rules to ensure accuracy are provided by the web site&#039;s host.  Truly, that is truly scary.</description>
