Stop it you two. Lars, Ed was trying to make a valid point and you repay that 
with a stupid, unproductive and unnecessarily combative response. Granted it 
wasn't the most productive way to accomplish his ends but Ed is one of our 
best, if not the best, community builders and he deserves much more respect 
than that. Your, comment, on the other hand, only tends to tear down 
community. 

SJC, get over it. The wikipedia namespace is not a place for propaganda an POV 
divisiveness -- it is a place to describe and work on the /NPOV/ 
encyclopedia. You have already been told that you can use your user page or 
Meta for most of your POV needs. So this is hardly censorship when we offer 
you valid forums for this. Then there is also geocities, again free.
