I wanted to say this for a long time, and now seems like a good
opportunity. I see this as a tyranny of the majority. I understand that
a large majority of German Wikipedia editors are against the filter. But
even if 99.99% of editors are against the filter, well, it is opt-in and
they don't have to use it. But why would they prevent me from using it,
if I want to use it?
