I believe (or hope, perhaps) that Wikipedia administrators are
rational adults and capable of discerning the difference between an
acceptable use of a Wikipedia userpage and the unacceptable use of it
as a soapbox for views "beyond the pale", and as such can discern the
difference between a normal, sane political party and one that
advocates the extermination of whole categories of other human beings.
