NPOV

The following section

Jack Thompson Controversy- GU Comics has, along with many other webcomics, on many occassions taken on anti-videogame campaigner and lawyer Jack Thompson through a combination of parodies in several comics, and raising awareness within the gaming community of the activities of Mr. Thompson.

seems to lack a NPOV concerning Jack Thompson. While I personally hold no love for the guy, the phrase "raising awareness" has a POV feel to it. To almost seems akin to "raising awareness" for HIV/AIDS or the like. Mikemill 22:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I changed it to say

GU Comics has, along with many other webcomics, on several occasions taken on lawyer Jack Thompson, known for his activism against violent video games, through a combination of parodies in several comics, and letting the gaming community know about the activities of Mr. Thompson.

I hope this is better. Minirogue 00:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That works. I am not used to writing in an NPOV style, too against my nature I guess, so no worries--Breandán 02:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal Edits

Can someone who has more time to devote to the internet keep a watch on the anonymous user (ISP 82.30.252.45) and report him/her/it for vandalizing the article?--Breandán 19:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Breandán unlike you i believe people have a right to voice the truth. Unlike you im not some bush cencorship clone. Unlike you I would not remove someones comments and brand it as vandalism simply because I do not agree. Unlike you I would not dream of simply calling someone a vandal and deleting there content due to it differing from my view.

Woody does run his forums with no care for others opinion or allow a two way discussion, he does run it akin to a dictatorship and he can be inflammatory and agressive.

While I respect him as an artist and thereby left the artwork sections alone you have basically removed my rights to comment in a critiscism section, there is that again "critism section". Not glorification section, I did not post this in the general information part or the other areas info etc. I ensured it was in the critisicm section, if i was a vandal it would have been in every section.

your censorship of others views sickens me and cheapens what wikipedia is about.

Edit in fact Breandán what you have actually done is exert the same level of censorship on views ouside of the gucomics area, way to go.

and this "him/her/it" purile —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.30.252.45 (talkcontribs).

Well that is all fine and dandy, and I believe your right to your opinion, however you can voice it somewhere else. One of the things I like about wikipedia is the unbiased neutrality of the articles. If you have a problem with someone, and their idea of censorship, that is your problem, not ours. I also am not a huge fan of censorship, but if you don't like how a forum is run, then leave it and go elsewhere, but not here. Minirogue 21:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
