I would not speak for Stuart but I can give concrete cases of "politic 
propaganda" widespread in en.wikipedia and related cancellation of 
content with a different point of view.

All that without any action of the community and with an evident non 
neutral position of sysops.

I promise you to open another thread with all that points but I would 
like to discuss that like a different problem not related with hardcore 
pornography.

After that I hope to receive your feedback.
