Right.

In addition to those who are simply knowingly disruptive, there are also
people who deeply and honestly feel that any attempt to, for example (their
opinions not mine), continue to publish articles about this mythical
Holocaust thing are an attempt to supress the superior white race.

I respect those people's right to hold an opinion, but their objective is
not one I want them to be able to project onto their interactions with WP.
The process of consensus and minority viewpoint representation is important
to help ensure that those people don't get to have more influence on
Wikipedia.
