This is a mistaken understanding of what "unbalanced" means with respect to Wikipedia.

Again - I am not Cirt, and I find the article reasonably balanced.
Having an article that associates someone with human waste be "reasonably balanced" is like claiming that an article about the Richard Gere gerbil rumor (as long as it stated the rumor was false) would be reasonably balanced. The association of a living person with shit is inherently unbalanced; it spreads a negative POV towards that person, no matter how many disclaimers we add saying that we don't think he's really like shit.
Well said. That's the problem.
