Wikipedia has no obligation to permit deviants to edit. If a someone
has sexual thoughts about children, keep it to yourself and stay off
Wikipedia. I can't even imagine the PR nightmare that the Wikimedia

self-identified pedophiles."

"Fun" indeed, this aparently got so bad than Jimbo temporarily de-sysoped
no less than 5 admins for "wheel warring" (enter blocking and unblocking
users and other admins or deleting and undeleting the template), one wich
wich aparently descided to quit in protest.
