If I understand correctly, his thesis is that if RK is allowed to take outrageous positions on Israel/Palestine issues that will be more effective in presenting that view than a large number of moderates.
Can you give examples of RK taking outrageous positions on Israel/Palestine issues? I don't think he does, and I don't think that's quite what Abe's point was.
RK is a pretty good NPOV writer. Better than most, I think.
The problem with RK is not that he battles to write absurd things in articles -- the problem with RK is that he's very difficult to work with, and that -- in the current case -- he really stepped over the lines in terms of not treating others with respect and kindness.
Several people have made this claim over time -- that RK is trying to insert blatant propaganda into articles. But the examples that I have seen are very *very* thin, and don't support ANY idea of RK as being out of line with respect to his article edits.
