I said this privately and I will say it publicly. I support the permanent block on Amalekite. He can edit Nazipedia all he wants now. In case we all forgot, Wikipedia is about making an encyclopedia, not providing a platform for every nutbag with an agenda to spill his nonsense all over us.
We all agree that the goal of the project is to create an encyclopedia. A free, comprehensive, accurate encyclopedia. The best encyclopedia in the world. The reason some of us are spending all this time in debating the ban of an individual user is that we believe that to create the best encyclopedia in the world we need a community that is open, friendly, accountable, fair and helpful.
In particular we need to be open to people of all creeds and opinions. We need to be especially friendly to newbies. We need to be accountable for the actions of our administrators. And we need to be fair and helpful to everyone who wants to contribute.
The quality of our encyclopedia is directly related to the quality of the community that is building it. Let's take good care of it.
