The trouble with ethnic conflict articles is that, rather than a few
problem editors, there's an effectively infinite stream of partisans.
(For whatever reason: local education is often partisan rather than
NPOV?) So, even though a core of opinionated-though-neutral editors
accumulates, there's an eternal stream of people who don't know and
don't care about NPOV or Wikipedia principles in general - as far as
they're concerned, someone is being WRONG on the Internet.
