Indeed.  It's very easy to *say* "we're just in beta, some articles will 
be crap", but when someone is being defamed *right now* I'm sure they 
wouldn't find it at all easy to stand by for ~ five years and let the 
Wiki Way do its magic ...

Heck, just ask those editors who've edited articles about themselves, 
like Chip Berlet, Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters, or ... well ... Jimbo Wales. 
  It's absurd to stand back and say "sure, the article was offensive, 
but what about community consensus?!"
