::::::::::NightMonkey, my stating a charge of [[libel]] was not intended as a legal threat. It was intended to be as ridiculous as your accusation of personal attack but especially in light of my username I should have understood that it could be interpreted as such. Just to be clear, I have no intention of suing you for libel and every intention of following Wikipedia official policies. That being said, I haven't attacked you. You ''assumed'' my honest question was a personal attack. So as for [[Assume_good_faith]], please look in a mirror. And, regarding respect, your tone has been flippant: [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=flippant] and/or pedantic: [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pedantic] since your first response so again, look in the mirror. (sigh) Why do we see in others what we hate most in ourselves? Thanks! :-) -- [[User:Lawyer2b|Lawyer2b]] 16:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::::I have apologized to [[User:NightMonkey]] on his userpage for my uncivil tone and await his response. -- [[User:Lawyer2b|Lawyer2b]] 21:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Oh boy, I wasn't aware that my little comment about "leftist" could generate all this talk. :( I only reported that the term could be confusing, because "left" could be misleading, mostly for Europeans. In America, the way it is used could be considered by others as meaningless. The term liberal, doesn't really have this problem. Also, anti-neoliberal, could be as much seens as "left" or "right" depending on the arguments used. A "rightist" conservative, might be anti-neoliberal, to protect his own ressources, while Moore might justify his being against it for "humanistic" considerations. We must be cautious as to use terms that will be the less confusing possible, and I don't believe that placing leftlist on the lead, without placing it in context is really the right thing to do. I did not really read the article, so I have no idea if this sort of ambiguity are present, I just happened to end up in Moores article and that part of the lead I found problematic.
