Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act

You are at WP:3RR on the Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act article. I suggest you read up on WP:LEDE and WP:NPOV and WP:UNDUE. The lede is inappropriate for the opinions of specific players. We could load up the lead with all kinds of opinion. This particular bit you like seems to be a WP:FRINGE view of the effect of the ACA on small businesses. I suggest you get consensus for your edit on the talk page before adding this material again. Furthermore, editing past 3RR may result in a short block of your account.

Hi there. I was reviewing the recent edit history over at PPACA and related pages and I'm having a difficult time assuming good faith regarding some of your recent conduct. It appears that within a 3 hour period you did the following:

1. You disagreed with some of my edits at Americans for Peace and Tolerance. (Nothing wrong with that, though your edit comment was rather uncivil.)
2. You twice reverted (here, here) language that was the subject of an edit war just the day before.
3. You then commented on WP:ANEW about that very edit war, in a way that appears intended to disparage me.
4. You then reverted the same edit yet again, even though you knew there was an ongoing edit war dispute about it.
5. Four minutes later, while your preferred version of the article was currently in place, you requested full protection, with the comment, "Edit war needs to cool, for a while."
6. (The next day, after your edit was reverted back, full protection was put in place, and discussion about the contested material was ongoing, you requested administrator assistance to re-revert yet again.)

If you could, please explain your motivation for these edits and why I shouldn't report you to WP:ANEW or WP:ANI for extremely disruptive editing. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 00:21, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
