involved than we are). Determine whether the factions have become
sufficiently hostile to Wikipedia's community and goals that this
needs to end now, and take forceful action to end this.
I'm far out, you say? Far out, man!

I don't think that there is or should be any center other than verifiability.
Adding extremisms to the wikipedia is fine. It's when you take other
people's extremisms out that the problems start.
However, there are *some* community standards: extreme spam,
advertising, or trivia- that's just going *too* far. ;-)
