I wrote an article on wikipedia, and called him "a troll, a psuedo-intellectual, and a mad man seeking revenge."

Now it is "biased" but isn't it also true?

I would rewrite from the point of view of a disinterested spectator....its definately not neutral...its an opinion

you're right, that article is extemley biased, but from the spin that you put on things he completely fit the description that you gave him,

but if i were to ask him, he would have a different spin to the whole thing, so it's not fair to just hear your side of the argument, you would have to hear both and cross-section them to figure out who is the true bad-guy in this dissagrement

when writing from a neutral point of view you do not make moral distinctions such as good or bad, you suspend moral judgement totally and let the facts speak for themselves

I've talked to the guy on his forum, he isn't a "retard", just an asshole. He knows a couple programming languages, and his fluent in "political" speak.

He's just a crazy asshole, who wants revenge.

Relistically, I should interveiw him to write the article.

I was banned from this game called "Achea Dreams of Divine Lands" so I use an IP blocker to play it.
