on to talk about that specific period. All the other individuals listed are from that period. So I think that including Mackey in the first place is distracting to the rest of the article, and I think that unless you have a citation that actually uses the words "robber baron" to describe Mackey, it's original research and non-NPOV to include him. If you really want to include him (and again, I don't think you should), perhaps a section on "Modern Robber Barons"? One that wouldn't just single Mackey out?

they are playing around or honest, that comment gained nothing but risked a lot. Your reply would have been read by many more people than just the person asking the question. As I am sure you are aware, suicide is something that can be 'triggered' in susceptible people, which is why one suicide being reported on the news can trigger a string of copycats. Please be very careful. Thank you.

Thanks for engaging in a discussion with me about this. While I don't deny that the FTC and others have a problem with Mackey, this is not quite the same thing as them designating him a robber baron. Also, the article begins by stating "Robber baron was a term revived in the 19th century..." and goes

Hey, I deleted it because you can only use public domain images in user boxes. The XM image you used was fair use. Fair use is okay to use in articles but not in user boxes. The Sirius dog I made for the Sirius

Consider moving your user boxes to a sub-page. Start from scratch on your main user page. Although consider only including information relevant to your editing behavior. For example: Video games, Genetics, Calculus. But don't ask me about sub-page creation. Go use the search engine on your side-bar.

Sorry, it's just my opinion. You can have all the user boxes you like saying stuff about: I live here on this street in this town in this state/province of this country. Of course, consider stalkers, assasins, or those people in chat rooms that want to come to your house and... let's not go there.
