I think the problem with the idea of a page for each position is that it
will inevitably lead people into thinking they have a free rein to ignore
NPOV, simply because the one page is "balanced" by the other - most
likely ending up in a spiral of increasing bias. (Well, the other page
says this horribly biased thing, I'm justified in saying something
non-neutral on this page).
