Michael Snow doesn't seem to think it "bad" when either he and his "ilk" direct numerous and FALSE offensive statements at other Wikipedians, though, does he?

If I have made any, let alone numerous, false or offensive statements directed at other Wikipedians, I hope somebody will let me know, so that I can do what is possible to correct my mistake. But I can accept no responsibility for my ilk; it will have to account for itself.

My only other comment is to clarify what Mr. Paul Vogel apparently did not understand in my previous post. I am not suggesting that we sacrifice the NPOV policy. That is and should remain, quoting Jimbo, "absolute and non-negotiable". Rather, I meant that just because somebody contributes a particular point of view to the discussion, that should not immunize them from the consequences of their behavior. We can get that same point of view from other sources, if necessary, and still achieve NPOV.
