Amusing removal of well-sourced material -- midsentence!

User:Justanonymous added the entire Bernard Harcourt quotation on Halbrook to the article with the edit summary per WP:BLP we have to be discrete here about exactly what was said. Took the actual quote and source., but User:Capitalismojo removed it[1], saying "remove unrelated neo-nazi material from BLP". This is some extremely funny stuff. Removing part of a quotation mid-sentence because it contains "unrelated neo-nazi material"! And he is backed up by User:Gaijin42 [2]. The patent abuse of WP:BLP policy here is simply boggling. — goethean 21:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
