From our perspective, NPOV is a great mechanism for avoiding libel,
because it's pretty hard to libel someone without taking any position.
As far as the liability we might have for words posted by a random contributor, the DMCA gives a pretty strong defense to that.
The argument is always available that the person who claims to be libeled has as much right to change the offending material as anybody else.
