[edit] (Late) discussion in the Denise Richards article
Hi, I'm no WikiExpert, but you're comments in the Denise Richards discussion page are insulting. YOu're basis for reverting that guy's edits were that he was a big CHristian hypocrite, so you're just going to revert what he does. His faith is of no issue. Contrary to common belief, unfair judgements against majority groups, such as Christians, is still prejudice. Please do not insult other people's personal faiths (meaning the validity or sincerity of that person's actual personal investiture in his faith, I don't mean don't ever say anything bad about a religion) or what you think of their hypocrisy, and don't use those judgements as an excuse to edit. Edits to Wikipedia should be mae based on your knowledge, not because you assume a person is wrong because you declare them to be a hypocrite. Those edits may be over a year old, but to someone who's perusing the discussion to see if there's already a topic about that awful picture, like me, they can still be offensive and infuriating. Giving people the benefit of the doubt isn't just some stupid Wikipedia thing, it's a good way to open yourself up to understanding things. Maybe you wouldn't have such an issue with Christians if you didn't assume they were bigoted, overly-judgemental, agenda-pushing fire 'n' brimstone wackos. That may be exaggerating what you really think of them, but that's how you come off. Karwynn 22:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
