==Gravedancing, revenge, POV==
These comments look to me like "gravedancing". https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Gravedancing.
Bourrie stood up for a ] woman who was trashed on Misplaced Pages after she said she was sexually assaulted by her swim coach when no one else would, and Canadian Misplaced Pages editors were hiding behind dubious research by the far-right Frazer Institute.. He won that case in arbitration. He stood up to ] when Kinsella used Misplaced Pages to claim he had "successfully sued" Bourrie. Maybe Bourrie has not been a good Wikipedian, but I looked at the long term Spoonkymonkey edits. Lots of good work there, not a single block in years, and now this page is edited to hype anything negative about him. I googled him. This entry is not a good representation of his life. ] (]) 21:41, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

:This article is about Mark Bourrie, the writer. There's very little relevance (or mention) of his Misplaced Pages edits, and there's no need to discuss the 13-year editing history, vandalism, and sock puppetry. The article should be as neutral as possible, neither hyping the negatives, nor full of puffery. Can it be improved - sure, like thousands of other articles here. ] (]) 17:52, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
