Quoting Raphael Wegmann raphael@psi.co.at:
There isn't much of an issue here of a moral panic. The people we are dealing with, such as Brandt, Bagley and Barber will stop at nothing until they get precisely what they want out of Wikipedia or destroy the project. There is no acceptable response other than to block them on sight.
We won't stop before we get precisely what we want either. Though we've got the power to block. Sounds like a battle to me.
If you wish to use that framework, you are welcome to. If it is a battle, it is a battle between those who wish to provide free, neutral information to humanity and those who would see that goal either thwarted or perverted.
