[WikiEN-l] More POV-pushing nutters

[WJhonson at aol.com]

The initial post stated that we need to respect Wikipedia's rules in our  
outside dealings.
My response was basically "No we don't"
 
Your response doesn't address that, it shows where someone has posted  
silliness to try to avoid real-world repercussions for in-wiki bitchiness.   But the 
point is always the same.  If you're an ass expect to get  bitch-slapped :)  
That goes for both sides.
 
Wikipedia cannot police everything that goes on in the real worth.   And we 
shouldn't be trying to.  That's the point of my response.
 
The Isreal/Palestine conflict has been going on for a lot longer than  
Wikipedia has existed.  We are not going to be able to solve it in-wiki,  and no 
matter what rules we have or haven't, it isnt' going to go away by  policy.
