Moderating such a list could be a hell of a lot of work. I'm sure there
are more interesting things to do with your time.
5. A part of this needs to involve a solid commitment by all of us
that we DO NOT SEEK to cover up any valid information that Helga may
have and want to see treated in the wikipedia. If she wants to have
an article about the Daily Express thing, we should find a way to
accomodate her.
This may be a key issue. Expressing and supporting a majoritarian point
of view should still leave room for alternative points of view, even
when the majority considers them quite goofy. It is still perfectly
acceptable to state that these alternate or eccentric points of view are
somewhat removed from the beaten track.
6. Helga should NOT accuse people of trying to cover
anything up.
That's a personal insult. At the same time, of course, we should not
insult Helga in any way. She's been kind enough to come before a very
hostile court of opinion here, so we should be kind enough to listen.
Although I've had little to do with the specific issues discussed in her
articles I too would like to extend my welcome to her.
