Let's play "fill in the blank".

What word can you put in there that is universally applicable, and
will <u>always</u> make Wikipedia a better place?
I choose to fill in the blank with "prejudice".
"Nazi-ism" doesn't fit. As much as we dislike their views, it is
likely that Nazis and neo-Nazis will give us better insight into their
own views, and improve the articles related to those viewpoints.
The solution to POV edits is more people reviewing them, not
pre-banning those we suspect will make them.
