Could Leatherstocking be allowed to continue editing as a "token" LaRouchie so Slim, Beback and friends do not appear so merciless?
Given what's happened with 172/Cognition, could it be possible Leatherstocking is a "bad hand" account?
I take a neutral stance on the LaRouche wiki-battles, but its obvious that nothing positive about LaRouche, even when backed by Reliable Sources, can go unchallenged by SV and friends. LaRouche may, from many people's perspective, be considered "crazy," but he deserves a neutral, just-the-facts BLP article per Wikipedia's own policies.
Can that happen? Will it happen? Unlikely.
I'm waiting to see what happens when LaRouche editors start using more Chinese and Russian sources, which appear to give LaRouche's ideas and projects more credibility than the western media. I think it will be fairly hilarious, actually. I think JoshuaZ and some of the others probably read this thread here in WR and responded accordingly.
Yes, LaRouche and any other topic in Wikipedia deserve a fair and neutral treatment. It's disappointing to see so many long-time editors openly flaunting this ideal.
