:I agree that your edits to this page were done in a civil manner, but you presented information selectively with the intent to malign, which is not neutral. Because it was posted on Mr Patti's article, instead of the business itself, it is also in violation of our [[Pensapedia:Biographies of living persons|Biographies of living persons]] policy. If you could get a reputable media outlet to publish your grievance, the criticism could be included in the [[Joe Patti's]] business article. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 22:08, 12 April 2011 (CDT)
I appreciate the guidelines you've defined. I will adhere to your recommendations.
Meanwhile, I will also try to find different avenues to present the verifiable facts regarding this man and his business. I disagree with your assessment that my primary goal is to "malign" Frank Patti. My only interest is to bring to light his actions and his policies and allow others to come to their own conclusions. He is, by nature of his personality and past shenanigans, a public figure. As such, there is a very different set of rules that apply to someone like him. This is the essence of many journalistic decisions that you surely understand.
Every day decent, hardworking human beings unknowingly come in to this man's business to fill out job applications hoping to earn a meager living. They're not even be considered simply because they came in with the wrong skin color. Patti's establishment, Pensacola's biggest seafood market and gourmet store, is seemingly in violation of federal Equal Employment Opportunity Laws and the Civil Rights Act on a nearly daily basis. There is nothing libelous about this; after all, libel requires that an accusation be false.
However, we will present that information to the media as you suggest and let them decide where the story lies.
