I also suspect more than a few administrators would be pre-banned as well, perhaps even more than half.
Don't think so?
Then consider that many atheists find theist beliefs to be fundamentally absurd, and many theists feel that way about atheists.
To me, pre-banning people is a measure (albeit a small measure) of fascism and prejudice. I prefer we don't join them in their cesspool. Instead, judge them on the merits of their edits.
I cannot help but be reminded of the folk who preach tolerance in all things, but whose definitition of tolerance turns out to be "putting up with people I don't mind".
We should be tolerant of all viewpoints, and leave personal issues out of WP. Focus on accuracy, NPOV, reliable sources and so on.
