The Internet is full of kooks. Do they all deserve equal time? Do they all deserve legitimacy?
I would say: clearly, no, they do not. NPOV does not require the inclusion of inanities or evil ideas. (Though it may require the _reporting on_ inanities and evil ideas.)
I don't think what we are doing here is bending over backwards to find a way to include these views. I think we're engaged in a process of feeling out the parameters, which is for our benefit, not for the benefit of the kooks.
Tangentially, we are trying to find out if Helga is willing to change her posting policies so that I don't permanently ban her.
