I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you about RK, because I haven't
read much of the relevant writings, but I suspect that virtually
everyone has some "hot button" issue where NPOV writing will be
difficult. I wouldn't trust myself, for example, to write an article
on John Kenneth Galbraith, who I consider a fascist blithering idiot.
:-)
However, I would prefer if anybody whose emotions go
that high refrains voluntarily from writing in this area.
Certainly good advice. Unfortunately, it is also true that people
tend to know a lot about their "hot button" issues, and therefore have
the ability to write a lot about them.
Better be anti-Arab, it is politically a lot more
opportune...
Better, still, of course, is to not get involved on the level of
advocacy at all.
