Lir,
I know the mailing list has been "spammy" recently, but you might want to take a look at Jimbo's e-mail. He didn't say that discussion of the rules is grounds for banning -- but only repeated violation.
No one talks about banning the Cunctator, although he questions the rules more often than any one else -- even you!
You have complete freedom on the Internet, anywhere you go. With the exception that the owner of the server hosting Wikipedia won't permit certain kinds of edits to the article database.
But any contributions to the encyclopedia project that fit the NPOV rules are fine, and we'd appreciate your cooperation on transliteration, too.

genocide involves the destorying of culture. americinization is a form of genocide. stop saying that i should be banned for opposing King Jimbo Wales, whoever that is, he probably would rather see the correct name of things, than the same ol americanized crap.
