I oppose SCN, but i researched it a lot on the Internet I tried to do my best to write a neutral encyclopedia article. Apparently it was so neutral, that a couple of editors accused me of being a stealth scientologist! They believed that an encyclopedia must be against SCN, while i claimed that an encyclopedia needs to be neutral. I won, more or less. :)
I haven't had that. http://www.suburbia.net/~fun/scn/ is my credentials in this regard ;-)
The moral of the story: a POV which is unsuitable for an encyclopedia can manifest itself not only in the camps of religious and nationalist fanatics, but also among people who glorify science, skepticism and rationality too strongly.
People can POV-push over the smallest things. And learn not to over the largest ones.
