[edit] Harry's Place

"Duke is a self-styled white nationalist widely regarded as a "white supremacist" and "neo-Nazi" by mainstream political and civil organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center. He denies this description, stating that he "strongly condemn[s] any effort of any race to be supreme over or control other races or nations.""

So David why is it ok to include adverse 'opinions' on the likes of David Duke and not Harry's Place?

As stated above he denies these opinions, which you cite as the test, yet the opinions are included.

Why is it not acceptable to point out that Harry's Place always takes an anti islamic stance in EVERY article that dscusses the middle east and goes to extraordinary lengths to omit any critisim of Israel. These are verifiable facts.

For the record I despise Duke as much as Harry's Place. They are different sides of the same foul coin.

Yet an appropriate caveat is included in Duke's entry while you present Harry's Place as some innocent political blog.

You sir are a blatant hypocrite.

You are working hard to promote a racist website and you are clearly 'in bed' with the foulest hate mongers.

Your argument about not allowing opinion do not withstand five minutes of scrutiny.

Why the bias? Is anti muslim hate more acceptable to you than anti black or anti jewish hate.

Shame

Please read the 'no personal attacks' policy of Wikipedia: we comment on content and do not attack other contributors based on their personality.
Check carefully the David Duke article which you quote and you will see that those statements are not statements of the article, but statements reported in the article that have been made by David Duke himself and by others (outside Wikipedia) in criticising him. Where a critical comment is disputed, the article then reports his response to it. This is a good 'neutral point of view' article: it describes the dispute, but it does not take a side. Your edits were different in that they were not opinions of other people described on Wikipedia, but your own opinions which you wanted the article to endorse. This isn't the way encyclopaedia articles work. The Harry's Place article already describes the political stance that the blog takes. David | Talk 14:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
