	Well the only place that i copied any of the original deleted article was in the podcast and review style sections. I did however remove some of this bisases, profanity and general advertising for the site and added signifigantly more citations. I saved the rest of those parts because I have been an active member of the website and they generally were correct. I didn't get the text from deleted versions of the page, i got them from http://wikibin.org/articles/spill.com.html, which is another wiki site which operates under the GNU free documentation license. I did however write a completely rewritten lead, history and awards section which was completely original, along with more citations. After having created the page, i found the other user davidbrayer or whatever and i found that the history section he had used was directly copy and pasted from one of the Austin Chronicle news articles and thats why i would consider myself not associated with him.

The fact that I, Jim Bell, claim to have done this is VERIFIABLE: Give me a telephone call at 360-696-4308. Or, VISIT me at 7214 Corregidor, Vancouver WA 98664 (USA). Or, I would be happy to call you. I would also be happy to FAX you copies of the relevant letters.

	5. After just seeing that you (or somebody) have, YET AGAIN, deleted EVERYTHING I, yet again, I must conclude that you have decided that you will simply not allow me to make ANY edits, changes, modifications, or additions to 'jim bell'. The extremely serious nature of your misconduct, its persistence and rapidity, strongly suggests that you are acting on 'someone's' behalf. In effect, your actions improperly 'defend' the article 'jim bell' 's CURRENTLY erroneous and biased content ('half-truths', etc). I'd say your actions constitute 'libel' and 'false light'. And yes, now I'm enough of a lawyer that I could write the entire lawsuit MYSELF. The odd thing is, I'm very much a supporter of the 'Misplaced Pages' idea. But manipulation ('politically' motivated) can be expected to occur, and HAS occurred, by you on others' behalf.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

	::Your 'reply' was nonsense. I am not objecting to your (or anyone else) deleting ANY posting, at ANY time. I am complaining, repeatedly and severely, about your malicious actions. Hint: Go back and actually RESPOND to my specific and detailed objections, above. You REPEATEDLY ''Italic text''remove EVERYTHING I have added, an action which smacks not merely of censorship, but in fact carefully-directed sabotage. Further, you do not receive (or even seek!) a consensus from the community before you do your 'drive-bys'. Further, you don't put those deleted edits into any 'talk:' page for discussion, as if you are carefully trying to avoid letting any other user develop a contrary opinion. And, you also haven't responded to my assertions that there are extreme double-standards at work, relative to other Wiki articles: Other articles frequently, and in fact usually, have MANY unattributed statements, even when they also include citations. By repeatedly deleting EVERY posting I make, ALL ALL ALL of them (and not just portions) you are either hypocritically applying 'rules' that are already inconsistently employed, or you are demonstrating that you have been instructed to (or have taken it upon yourself to) delete 'everything' I post, without any exception whatsoever. Your complete inability to address these objections demonstrates this. And as for 'legal threats': Your self-serving comment merely points up YOUR problem. I was discussing LEGAL ISSUES, double-standards, and various examples of malicious and hostile behavior by you. And, Wiki's 'policy' (against 'legal threats', though I don't agree I made one!) does not bind me. Fix your head. Actually ANSWER my objections! I can easily see from others' objections that one of your practices is to VERY QUICKLY edit, usually by deleting, others' posts. You try to destroy: You don't build up.

	You continue with your nonsense. No, you DID NOT tell me exactly 'why' my edits were removed. Rather, you tried to justify it based on a cockeyed reading of rules, rules which are in themselves biased: Somehow, you give preference to UNRELIABLE sources (articles, etc), and you resist accepting posts from an utterly reliable source! (Me.) Reliable, in the sense that I am me, and I am accurately posting what I have done, and believe, etc. There is no requirement that I post THIRD PARTY references to 'my allegatiions': All you need to do is to Google "James Dalton Bell v. USA, et al" (www.mail-archive.com/cypherpunks@cyberpass.net/msg00854.html) and you will see my own allegations of forged documents, written in June 2003. The ONLY question is, "Did Jim Bell make those allegations", NOT "Are those allegations TRUE"! (I suggest that you should have, INSTEAD of precipitately deleting the material, ASK me to cite online citations, if they exist. Why didn't you do that? Are you just so used to 'playing God' that it's 'beneath you' to ask a question or two, BEFORE throwing your lightning bolts?)
	As for my "global warming" discoveries: I did, indeed, sent numerous letters on the subject. Documents of this type, sent to the US Congress, Obama, NIST, and DOE, are generally considered public records. (See "Freedom of Information Act"). Verifying that I actually sent these letters, WHICH IS THE ONLY RELEVANT issue here, is easy: Put in a "FOIA" request. Even easier, I'd be happy to fax you a copy of these letters.
	Further, the reason that I posted SOME of the improperly-deleted content on the Talk: page is because YOU, improperly, DID NOT: You engaged in a 'drive-by edit': You did not seek or obtain consensus. You actively tried to avoid formation of that consensus.
	You said that I "...have received no consensus for their inclusion". Ha! In other words, you are implying that I must obtain a "consensus" for their "inclusion". In other words, that it is MY, PRIOR. burden of proof! To the contrary, my understanding is that there is NO REQUIREMENT that an editor obtain a consensus PRIOR TO posting material. So, I did not try to so. You, however, on multiple occasions were fully aware that you did not obtain consensus for their deletion, AND that I repeatedly posted the material, and you deleted the material QUICKLY in a clear attempt to prevent the community from even LEARNING of the existence of the issue. (It appears, from comments about you, that you have some 'priors' concerning this form of rude behavior: Not waiting for any sort of consensus to emerge.) Apparently, you believe that you didn't REQUIRE any sort of 'consensus' to justify the ''deletion'', yet now you're implying that I was somehow required to obtain consensus for their INCLUSION.
	Further, your attempt to isolate the issue to MY article alone, fails. I have been objecting to highly ''inconsistent'', hypocritical, ''biased'', and malicious acts BY YOU. It is quite reasonable for me to cite the way things are ACTUALLY done, in other articles, in order to point out:
	1. How you are actually NOT following, consistently, WP 'rules'.
	2. How you are 'singling out' me for biased treatment.
	3. Your interpretation of WP's rules is either WRONG, or is selectively malicious.
	For example, suppose the ''practice'' is actually to wait days, weeks, or even many months BEFORE doing a 'drive-by-delete', then THAT is the standard I feel I was, and remain, entitled to. A deletion in, say, 3 hours is obviously calculated to OBSTRUCT others from even LEARNING about the dispute!

	::You, like 'Dodo', are wrong. Notice that 'Dodo' hasn't bothered to EXPLAIN, in detail, his actions. This is quite revealing! He must know that I am a 'new' user: Only on for about two weeks. Logic suggests that he should, carefully, EXPLAIN why he did something like deleting my posts, repeatedly, without even as much as asking the community. After all, why should he be RUDE, as he has been, when he cannot claim that I 'should know' not merely what the rules say, but also the way they are followed. Well, the simple answer may be that he does this kind of thing a lot: He may ORIGINALLY have been respectful, but maybe he's developed a practice of 'drive-by-edits'. He seems to have that reputation! But as tempting as it may be to assert that, I think his actions are far more detailed and specific, and malicious: His pattern of deletion of my posts is to delete ALL ALL ALL of my posts, not merely some fraction that (he would argue) violates some rule. So, the 'rule' (actually, the practice) he seems to be showing is this: "Do not allow James Dalton Bell to post ANYTHING, on any article, and certainly not on 'jim bell'." Will 'Dodo' deny this? So far, he's avoided commenting! 'Dodo' seems to do this by simply finding SOME reason to dislike my post (even just a small part of it, though he doesn't say), and then use this to 'justify' deleting everything. The best explanation, I think, is that somebody has put him up to it, and he wasn't careful enough to cover his tracks. And, a few other non-thinkers back him up.
