Let's discuss this here before any further edit warring takes place. I've only taken a cursory glance at the material so far, but the story does seem to be supported by reliable sources. – Muboshgu ( talk) 21:05, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
homosexuals should be shotis a dead link. The quote
There comes a time when your convictions take precedence over your job, your title and your statusis not in the provided source. This source does not mention McDonald at all. Finally, this is not an article about McDonald.
Unfortunately- There is no other way to say this about the above statement but... It is a complete lie from tiller54. Nowhere in any line anywhere does tiller54 provide a link new, old or broken that claims Babin said "all gays should be shot" from McDonald or anyone else. This is clearly a disinformation attack upon Conressman elect Brian Babin by tiller54. I would like tiller54 to contact me and identify himself. Wikiblanks ( talk) 07:16, 16 November 2014 (UTC) I agree with MusikAnimal - I think the posting is disparaging to both Babin and McDonald. Also, there is no way short of a miracle that tiller54 can ever prove or disprove that McDonald's story caused Babin to lose the 1998 election - that statement by tiller54 it caused Babin to lose the 1998 election makes him look suspect with an agenda. The legal implications of these unfounded allegations all the way down the line are very serious and serves unworthy as nothing more than inuindo and he said she said. The very fact that this 21 year old person claims he was Babin's campaign manager is laughable at best and makes the rest of the story stink as some kind of "hit piece" to adversely affect the Gay community vote or FALSELY alienate Dr. Babin from a certain class of people. Wikiblanks ( talk) 07:16, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
I stand by assertions that you have an agenda. That comment by McDonald is libelous and completely unsubstantiated as a he said... she said... comment. Posting that comment as if it it was credible in any way is completely inappropriate and violates Wikipedia guidelines too. For you to keep pushing that comment is suspect in itself. I can advise anyone of my opinion to litigate if I wish- that was posted as a matter of transparency in this forum. Beyond that, you continue to push posting defamatory information about someone's contentions that have nothing to do with Dr. Babin in any way. Moreover, you stated previously that you believed that Dr. Babin lost his election bid in 1998 because of the unsubstantiated and DENIED comments, laughable... They had NO bearing on any election he has been involved in including his most recent win as a nine county US Congressman. Don't keep threating me with being blocked everytime you don't like what I say, that is so juvenile and sophomoric. The Conressman is a good man and you seek to only taint him with libelous manufactured garbage. Wikiblanks ( talk) 18:09, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
For the record I do appreciate working with reasonable editors/admins and other people here at Wiki. I'm new to this forum but like the premise and possibilities. I can see where there are many unutilized ways and uses of communication here yet to be realized. Libel is very offensive and in some states even criminal, I take these sorts of posting very seriously. Wikiblanks ( talk) 18:28, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
I demand a formal wikipedia inquiry and resolution to Tiller54' continued libelous assertions toward Brian Babin. The whole posting Tiller54 has posted is in no way factual or rooted in any basis for fact. Babin's campaign director during the time of the supposed McDonald claim/information was Gwen Pharo- FACT - Tiller54 is promoting outrageous lies and is a liar. Please advise me on how we may appeal and unseal Tiller54's identity. Wikiblanks ( talk) 17:57, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
User- Tiller54 continues to post libel without regard. His postings are based on he said she said disparaging remarks against McDonald and the subject wiki Brian Babin. Just because there was some irresponsible reporting or articles based in lies and conjecture that are posted somewhere does not mean the subject post are factual or appropriate to post. The accusations are clearly based in no factual sources and are complete lies and are not the actual subject of Brian Babin as set forth in the wikipedia terms and conditions. McDonald was not and never has been Dr. Babin's campaign director or organizer and has no place in any story related to the congressman. Tiller54's continued posting of these lies is an apparent direct attack on Dr. Babin. These lies and Libel will continue to be deleted as a responsible action against the attacks brought forth by Tiller54. I encourage wikipedia editors to ban Tiller54 from posting any information on wikipedia here forward. Wikiblanks ( talk) 00:11, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
I dont know who you are Tiller54 but posting libelous comments of someone not directly related except by some salacious accusation means nothing. And just because some allegations go out over a news wire does not make it so or even truthful. Ive read back over these comments and how administrators above shot you down on the posting of your two paragraphs because they didn't think them appropriate. Then you wait two weeks after your paragraphs have been taken down by consensus and then you repost them and then attack anyone who takes them back down like its a new discussion. Shame on you!!! You are wrong and apparently vested somehow in making those libelous paragraphs stick here. You should be ashamed, you should not use Wikipedia as a hit piece for vindictive inappropriate posting. You should be ashamed of your pointed attack on gays and a freshman congressmen. Childprotect1 ( talk) 04:22, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
FINALLY- WIKIPEDIA HAS THE LAST WORD IN THIS MATTER
SOURCE- WIKIPEDIA BLP POLICY
Biographies of living persons ("BLP"s) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article, and to material about living persons in other articles and on other pages, including talk pages.
