Sam can rub people up the wrong way, but I don't doubt his sincerity.
Lots of editors doing pretty objectionable things on Wikipedia are quite "sincere"; I don't think sincerity is a great excuse for policy violation.
Some people think that rules are more important than anything else; strict adherence to rules is the pinacle of NPOV.
Others of us do teribly POV things like listening and caring. Shame! We'll never become properly globalized machines that way.
Some of us like to present strawman arguments, in order to defend indefensible behaviour. Shame! We'll never become a credible source that way.
