Yup.  That sets the tone, the balance is uncomfortable, not grossly
excessive.  The userboxes are also combative.  I have no problem with
identifying what your strong opinions are up front, but developing
your arguments is not really what WP is for.  But like I say, I am not
neutral with respect to this (although I am not a fan of British rule
in NI either).

I only asked, though, because others have come to my Talk page
expressing concern.  It would be nice if someone could ask him to tone
it down a bit, since it seems calculated to offend some.  I am not
offended, just not comfortable with it.
