Whats so hard about "we welcome text which is good, no matter who or
how it was created and we reject or repair text which is bad."?

For or against paid editing? Paid editing is an orthogonal issue. I
wish all of our contributors could be better compensated for their
fantastic contributions.

If we can't cope with bias coming from known-interested sources then
we have no hope... most biased sources do not announce their
intentions.
