Haha congrats to the person who edited about the Eurovision song coming last, you beat me by ten seconds literally!!

Yep. There's a lot of full corners around Europe tonight what with all those "corner boys" who didn't pick up the phone and vote! LOL

His campaign for fathers' rights' has been marred by rhetoric such as "feminazis"[3]. THIS IS BIASED ... HE SAID IT, HE SAID IT . IT HAS NOT MARRED, AND IS NOT RHETORIC . FEMINAZI, CAMES IN DICTIONARY.COM, AND IS VERY USED IN THOSE SITUATIONS (and others, by the way), ABOUT FATHERS RIGHTS, VERSUS ULTRA FEMINISTS, ETC ETC . FEMINAZI, CAMES IN WILIPEDIA, TOO . FIX THIS, OK . IT WAS HIS (JOHN WATERS ) OPINION, DONT PUT YOURS . / P. QUINTELA .. --END//

I did not dispute that he used the term "feminazi" - in fact that's why I made that comment. John Waters tends to badly overstate cases he tries to make, thus even when I agree with him I see him shooting himself in the foot. I read the debate between John Waters and Sean Love and concluded that Waters was being his usual over-the-top self. It's not like he's debating extremists like Andrea Dworkin! He once complained about feminists and the Irish Constitution when the article he cited was one that had been in the constitution since 1937 - hardly a document that was written by militant feminists!

[edit] The Irish Times

Has he left it? If so, why? I saw an article of his in today's Sunday Independent. El Gringo 01:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

He's still writing for it - todays' Irish Times has a column by him. He's no longer published by Village, though. Autarch 19:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Five of the six (#1–5) current inline citations don't work any more because most are now from a pay content website. Does anyone have new accessible verifiable sources? ww2censor 03:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
