I realise that you were only running with somebody else's analogy,
but I could only respond to what was there.
Don't worry, I don't attribute any opinions to you personally.
Rev. Moon tells the story of how he was once confronted
by a maitre d' who
told him he had to wear a tie. He said "thank you" and left. He figured that
if they had a rule like that they probably had a policy of not serving black
people either.
Probably jumping to conclusions, but in the right direction.
I don't want the Wikipedia to exclude people with
views I despise. I just
don't want them to rip pages out of the books or put salt in the sugar
dispenser.
That sounds like vandalism; I'm on record as in favour of banning vandals.
But the discussion that sparked the analogy was all of this stuff about
expert approved subsets/forks/overlays/etc.
