Dear Neil N: Schoolchidren use Misplaced Pages for research, as well they should. Unfortunately, when they read about Jefferson Davis the first description they will read is that he was an "American." That's technically correct, because he was born in Kentucky, but he led a rebellion which killed hundreds of thousands of loyal American soldiers.

I find it offensive that the first word used to describe Jefferson Davis was that he was an "American," because he renounce his citizenship. So I deleted that term, and used the more descriptive phrase "slave-owner," which gives an important fact about who the guy really was.

Omnedon reverted, so I tried again, so he reverted again. You can call that an "edit war," even though I gave up before thrice, but the truth is, it was an incident of Wikibullying by an administrator who uses his "in crowd" position to win edit wars.

In the real world I am, among other things, a writer and editor. Things I have written have actually made a difference in our society. I enjoy writing and editing Misplaced Pages, but I can't stand the pin-heads who engage in Wiki-bullying.

So I reject your ultimatum. I'd like to arbitrate, or whatever you do, when an administrator insists on protecting something really, really stupid in an article.
