Wiki-is-truth

Keep grinding that axe, bud. We know Pete Townshend admitted to viewing child porn on the internet in 1999, when viewing was not even a crime. Only downloading was. There is zero evidence that Pete Townshend downloaded any such images. We do, however, know that Pete Townshend contacted an Internet Watch foundation to report what he had found. We also know he campaigned against the proliferation of child pornography on the internet. These facts are relevant and should be part of the bio. You seem to want to paint this episode in Pete Townshend's life as negatively as possible. Why? What is your problem? Has it ever even occurred to you that you may be castigating a man who was motivated by outrage when he visited that website? Why do you want to stand in the way of an objective and fair look at his arrest that acknowledges that there is more to the story than just the arrest? By wishing for only the arrest and caution to be mentioned, and none of the extenuating circumstances, you're doing nothing more than demonstrating that you want this to be a black stain. Pete Townshend wouldn't even have been arrested if someone in the police hadn't leaked his name to the press. His limited access simply didn't fit the profile of a pedophile. But the tabloid frenzy forced their hand. You're contributing to the witch hunt. Clashwho 10:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Townshend admitted to viewing child porn on the internet in 1999: Townshend admitted accessing a child porn website
• viewing was not even a crime. Only downloading was: Do you know how the Internet works? Do you know what the law says? Your comments here suggest the answer to both questions is "no".
• There is zero evidence that Pete Townshend downloaded any such images: therefore, Townshend's admission must be that he "incited others to distribute child porn"; or, as the police know it, paid for children to be raped. Do you prefer this implication?
• We also know he campaigned against the proliferation of child pornography on the internet: we know he made a claim to have done this; what he actually did was access child pornography websites.
• These facts are relevant and should be part of the bio: I believe the bio makes statements about Townshend's charidee work
• Why do you want to stand in the way of an objective and fair look at his arrest that acknowledges that there is more to the story than just the arrest? a) you could not carry out such an objective look, and b) Wikipedia does not tolerate original research. The only objectively verifiable facts are those that appeared in the news, and those that were published by Townshend. The article contains both.
• Townshend wouldn't even have been arrested if someone in the police hadn't leaked his name to the press: you work for the police now?

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at Pete Townshend. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 17:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Pete Townshend. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. 1st - stop rewriting to slant the article. 2nd - the Unsourced part of my warning was for the unsourced component. If you make complex edits in a single hit, they all have to be reversed out at once or fixed in detail. Since you are CLEARLY intent on making these edits, and clearly many other editors find them improper, I am not going to fix them in detail. sinneed (talk) 15:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring

Hi. Can you try not to edit war on pages, as you are at Pete Townshend? Your edits may have factual basis but they'll be ignored because people won't look beyond their accusations of vandalism. Stop and gather consensus on the talk page; I see you've already been there, which is great. If you have any questions, my talk page is open.
