Hi, I just created a stub article on Robert Conquest so you can document your objections to him there, instead of removing statements by him on History of the Soviet Union. Please let's try to be constructive and create some balanced articles about the Soviet Union. --Guppie

Thanks for the reading tips, I'll see if I can pick up a more pro-Stalin book (at least one not written by Conquest) in a few days. BTW, what's yor take on the Encyclopedia_of_Marxism? Do you consider it an "objective" (meaing reasonably neutral) source of information, or just another anti-Stalin propaganda site? The site seems pretty pro-Marx, anti-USSR, but I've just read a few articles there. --Guppie

Thanks for being open about your point of view (POV), which is libertarian communism. I think it always helps in a collaborative project when we put our cards on the table. I am a member of the Unification Church, which is undoubtedly the most anti-communist organization on the earth.

I'll try to be polite, though. :-)

As for your comment to Guppie:

Guppie, LEAVE IT. I am serious. This is the way it was and until you can prove otherwise, this is way it should be. I am asking YOU not to start an edit war.

It sounds a bit like a schoolyard bully extorting lunch money from a smaller kid, and warning his victim not to "start anything", e.g., trying to grab his money back. Now, I'm not accusing you of anything -- but since I can't hear your voice or see your face I can only report the apparent tone of your words, i.e., the impression I get.

Your contributions will be appreciate much more if you adopt a less aggressive stance. --Ed Poor
