Protection[edit]

To the anon editor(s?): would you please address why you think the following additions are remotely relevant to the article?

Saxberg returned regularly to Toronto with his Canadian-born partner, whom he met in Tokyo.

In the absence of his partner's name, what's the value in including this sentence?

He certainly left me with some interesting impressions. For years he was both a fixture on the CBC and Toronto's gay village. [web link]

Honestly, what on earth do you see as the value in including a link to a non-notable blog entry detailing a not-particularly-notable (and actually unverifiable, for that matter) sexual encounter that Saxberg might have had five years ago?

Could you please explain what the point of these edits was? I don't get the relevance of links that provide nebulous and/or inappropriate detail about his personal life. If you're just trying to do a "sick gay fisting pervert" smear on him, you can quit it right now; the article isn't hiding the fact that he was gay, so I don't see why graphic gossip about his sex life is required. You Frankers are more than usually obsessed with this guy, and I genuinely fail to understand why that is.

Oh, and while we're at it, I don't even want to know what anybody thinks the point of categorizing him as "2006 AIDS" was, do I? Bearcat 03:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
