Wikipedia is extraordinarily tolerant of dissenting opinion. People only et banned when they have made heroic efforts to prove beyond doubt that they are utterly unable to contribute productively.
I doubt that.
In Awbrey's case, the final straw was attempts to write policy pages on "expert editors" so as to allow him to continue to add original research to the article over which he has obsessed ever since he arrived.
What is so dangerous about s.o. trying to write a new policy? Did you write on a policy before? If it's crap, it will end in /dev/null anyway.
No, the only people who need to fear that are the *already banned* abusers of the project whose socks we are blocking on an almost daily basis.
And what kind of magic is involved in finding those socks? In what way is it different from a witch hunt?
