Is something on that page problematic to you?

It's a fact isn't it? I don't know why BLM removed it. Maybe you know something that I don't about why BLM exists or why they removed it?

It looks like the content on that page was just moved to other pages under the about tab and the wording refined over time, but the message appears the same. What "actual core political principles" specifically do you believe BLM is trying to hide?

The truth goes more like 'removal' than 'moved to other pages under the about tab'.

The "About" page you mentioned was almost left unedited (except for the renaming of the organisation) and no new additions, deletions or refinements were made to any of the sentences on the About page at the time BLM removed the page I found.

Or is the archives incorrect? [0] [1]

I think obfuscation is a fitting word here. Maybe you know why they 'removed' the page since it was misleading for you to say that it was just 'moved to other pages under the about tab' which given the archives it is clearly not the case.

Why are you unwilling or unable to directly state the principles you believe BLM is trying to "obfuscate?"

Your attempt to talk around your point and cast vague aspersions is getting tedious. Get to it and maybe we can have a conversation.

I'm afraid I don't think you answered my question on why BLM removed that page. In fact it was misleading for you to suggest it was "just moved to other pages under the about tab and the wording refined over time". According to the archives, this is completely false.

The entire page I mentioned in my second comment was 'removed' and almost no edits to the About page were made after its removal. The page itself and the reasons for its removal is the 'obfuscation' by BLM. Who knows, perhaps you know?

We could have a conversation, but perhaps you need to answer the question and actually come with actual evidence rather than misleading suggestions.
