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?
