Nope, and we've been around and around on this on the mailing list before. People who make good edits are welcome to do so, regardless of ideological affinity.
Alright. I see you weren't keeping up with the context of the discussion, so let me fill you in:
Imagine if we had editors who belonged to the KKK and made it obvious they belonged to the KKK with the following pattern of behavior: making contributions about European history while making biased edits against pro-African or African-American political causes, along with a rigid obsession with mentioning in the lead paragraphs of [[OJ Simpson]], [[John Muhammed]], et. al. that these convicted or suspected murderers were black, and making posts to the listserv under the pseudonym of "David Duke". Now do you see the problem?
