Contra[edit]

Hi. This is MarkB2. I am not new to wikipedia. I have been editing and contributing for years. I have been contributing to the Contras article for years. I have seen many editors with an axe to grind and an amazing sense of entitlement like yourself make herculean efforts to impose their point of view on this and other articles. You will find it an unrewarding experience. Many of them also had AMAZING credentials, like having lived in Nicaragua in the eighties for a few years, or having read a book. Nothing is relevant beyond what you can prove, or, better yet, what is well known.

Your interpretations of New York Times articles are truly original. No one is interested in them. If you keep adding them I will keep deleting them. MarkB2^Chat 02:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is that machismo I detect in your latest message? I don't like Scott Ritter. He amuses me. He was also one of the few to assert there were no WMDs in Iraq when it was not popular to do so.

The Catholic Church never really liked the Sandinista government. I'm not aware of deleting anything to that effect. Put it back if you want. I'm amused that when Catholics criticized the Sandinistas they were telling the truth, but when they criticized the Contras they were "leftie" Catholics telling lies.

I read your sources that were available on the internet. Don't bullshit me about facts. What you wrote and what your sources said were so different as to be ridiculous. And please don't go find some book that ran for 3,000 copies that asserts some bullshit and post that as a source. That's what I meant by "what is known."

I don't have any opinions or information worth typing about the current government of Nicaragua. MarkB2^Chat 08:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. Honesty, at least. It must be thrilling to write the history of your own movement. Unfortunately the world has a different memory. I couldn't help but notice your other contributions to wikipedia. Similarly imaginative. It must be a feat of will to remember ARDE as successful. Don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes.

I agree that this user's contributions to the article on the Contras have not only been extremely biased and ideological, but he has also slandered many others for their contributions and comments. He makes several egregious claims repeatedly on the talk page, trivializing the widely documented human rights abuses of the Contras, saying the Contras "didn't kill civilians" as a blanket statement. His attacks on others for being "Ortega propagandists/apologists" are routine. He clearly has an "axe to grind" as MarkB2 user has noted. 96.246.39.61 (talk) 18:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the above anonymous IP address poster is the one with an axe to grind. I think what upsets you is I back up every point with links. No anonymous rants. Your comments are a desparate effort to squelch free speech which is counter to the intent of wikipedia Tiomono (talk) 00:49, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
