[WikiEN-l] Libertarian spam

I'd like to enlist people's help in de-spamming personal articles which use
Template:Libertarian . Its placement on various pages here and there is
offensive to the eye as well as the ear, and its apparent excessive usage is
no doubt 'Droidian in nature, if not altogether Randian in intent.

Even worse is the apparent usage of Template:Combi to sidestack templates;
in contradiction of the Wikipedia:Sidestacking policy. The WLH for
Template:Combi shows that this is not by any means limited to Libertarian
articles, small-l or not, but its formation was no doubt originally
propagated by Libertarians and for libertarians. My basic evidence of this
is the unreadability of pages which have been thusly formatted.

As everyone knows, Libertarianism is just the kind of wishy-washy
non-philosophy that poses the greatest threat of giving birth to some new
quasi-intellectual incarnation of tacky backwater-class totalitarianism
disguised as futuristic and innovative societal reform.

Its spammage on various pages is no doubt further evidence of this fact, and
I'd like people to consider that its application should be restricted to the
reasonable and not excessive; to the detriment of freedom and what passes
for it.

Thanks,
