I am temporarily leaving Misplaced Pages in protest over structural and procedural polices that reward aggression and bigotry here on Misplaced Pages.


I have asked that my user account be deleted.
I do not think these are intentional, but there has been a consistent refusal to deal with these issues over several years.

:::Thatcher131 is correct that BLP issues are important (though I suppose there's a difference of opinion on the best solution). I think we need to recognize that there are different standards at play.
:::One standard is legal libel. As it happens, Lyndon LaRouche has initiated libel cases and I believe he has lost them all. In one case, the judge found that calling LaRouche a "small-time Hitler" was not libellous.
:::Another standard is public opinion, as reflected in news reporting. LaRouche is routinely referred to as as being on the "fringe", and of being a conspiracy theorists with unusual ideas, and of being an "anti-Semite". So common are these perceptions that the subject has written letters to the editors of newspapers protesting that "Fringe candidate" is not part of his name, and that he isn't really anti-Semitic despite being called that so often. So saying that LaRouche is called a "fringe, anti-Semitic, homophobic conspiracy theorist" would be entirely consistent with the majority viewpoint (the one which WP:NPOV requires we give the greatest weight).
:::A third standard is WP:BLP, which sets a threshold far higher than libel laws or journalistic standards. It requires that all contentious material, especially anything that could be considered derogatory, must be adequately sourced. We can provide a hundred sources that call LaRouche an anti-Semite and a thousand calling him "fringe", so sourcing is not a problem. BLP also calls on us to give special attention to neutrality when it comes to living people. This is the part where we need to be careful. While it's neutral to say that "the subject is often called an XYZ", it is less neutral to say that "the subject is an XYZ". It may be legally acceptable to do so, and it may be journalisticly acceptable too, but it may not be acceptable to NPOV. Perhaps after the subject passes away the neutrality issue will be less sensitive.
:::In summary, I think that referring to LaRouche as a "fringe, anti-Semitic, homophobic conspiracy theorist" may violate the neutrality provision of the BLP, and we should avoid doing so even though it is sourceable and non-libellous. ]] ] 23:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
