Of course. There are plenty of people here who hold beliefs that many other people find abhorrent.

There are views which are unacceptable in civilised society.
This whole debate is a nonsense (it damn well should be acceptable to block someone on sight for being a Nazist) and only serving to further disillusion me as to the complete lack of any controls which many Wikipedians' are advocating.
I do not want to be associated with something that has no standards whatsoever.
But we'll see how things go - either Wikipedia will get its act together or we will get bad publicity from some of the awful stuff allowed on at the moment, and people will stop coming here.
I mean really - if someone was to trawl through wiki right now for the stuff not palatable to the mainstream - mail it all to a bunch of magazines - would Wikipedia EVER be respected by anyone but a small group of liberals?
