As David Gerard has said: "Wikipedia is not an experiment in Internet democracy. It's a project to write an encyclopedia." The encyclopedia is the thing that matters,
The encyclopedia could actually be improved by someone editing who has neo-Nazi beliefs; that is, if we're serious about NPOV on articles like [[Neo-Nazism]] and so forth.
and Amalekite was out to subvert it for the good of his own tiny-minority cause, not for the good of Wikipedia.
Well, he's said some things that might make you think that. But maybe he just wants to improve Wikipedia by, as he might see it, NPOVing biased articles? Maybe he doesn't, but it's possible; he has said "follow the rules of the place - no insults or personal attacks, no Jew-bashing (though they so richly deserve it), try to keep a Neutral Point-of-View (NPOV), and stay cool, no matter how hard they push your buttons."
The truth is, it's a tricky thing to divine someone's true intent from their postings in wacky forums outside of Wikipedia. It's *much* safer, not to mention more accountable and transparent, to watch their actions within Wikipedia carefully and act accordingly.
