[WikiEN-l] Mostly in defence of 172

[Tom Parmenter]

This is an old union trick called "work to rule".  Instead of
striking, which, say, public employees have a hard time doing, they
simply follow every rule and regulation to a hyper-T, thus bringing
things to a halt in ways that it is hard for management to complain
about.

|Vera Cruz has a habit of following NPOV policy down to the very last

|
|Today Vera Cruz insisted on removing this from the article on Isaac Asimov:
|"a highly successful and extraordinarily prolific"
|
|Does VC have a metal health problem which makes her/him incapable of

|Or is s/he a troll, bent on applying NPOV so hard it breaks us?
|
|would s/he have us write:
|"Isaac Asimov (dates), described by some as a writer"?
|
|or "born in Russia according to some"?
|or "Asimov was a human being accoding to some advocates"?
