Peter Jaros wisely observed:

That said, there *is* a substantive issue hidden in this mess. The NPOV of certain articles is being questioned. Let's address that. What has happened to the articles in the past does not matter anymore.

Remember, the page history may exist, but it's the latest revision

that

counts. Let's discuss what *is* there and what *should be* there. Without accusing each other of anti-Anythingism.

Behind all the personal remarks probably lurks unexpressed or unresolved feelings about values. It's often easier to castigate a person, than to articulate one's values. Especially quickly. And even more so when constrained by the Neutral Point of View. "Neutral? Screw neutral, I'm going to kill those bastards!"

But our only business here is to craft neutral articles, even on life and death issues. We either work together, or we leave the project.

That's why I often recommend we cool off. Take a weekend, a month, and don't write about controversial stuff if you can't keep your temper in check. I follow my own advice.
