Most of what they say is "you are a fascist because you won't let my
creationist/neo-Nazi/racist/conspiracy theory/anti-Semitic/etc. FACTS
into Wikipedia!"
The reason they say the same thing is because they come up against the
rule: NPOV.
I get along just fine with reasonable users and people with reasonable
complaints or objections. People who are generally nutty or have a
hard-line agenda to push generally run into problems with me and with
others.
So yeah. I enforce the rules at Wikipedia, and the rules at Wikipedia
say that a lot of content that dedicated and nutty users want to add
can't be added. In such cases, I am often GLAD to be the target of
their common complaints -- to be told that you do a good job in
keeping out nonsense is no insult at all.
