I disagree. Cyde stopped a catfight.
But he took a job as a cat herder. Yes, the AfD is extremely messy
and, however decided, will involve bad feeling, but when we attempt
to write encyclopedia articles about contemporary controversial
subjects that is always the case. The alternative would be to not
accept articles until the matter is settled. But our coverage of
controversial current events is one of our strengths. It is like a
great Limburger cheese. Nothing that stinky, or interesting, on
Britannica.
