I realise that you were only running with somebody else's analogy, but I could only respond to what was there. Don't worry, I don't attribute any opinions to you personally.
Rev. Moon tells the story of how he was once confronted by a maitre d' who told him he had to wear a tie. He said "thank you" and left. He figured that if they had a rule like that they probably had a policy of not serving black people either.
Probably jumping to conclusions, but in the right direction.
I don't want the Wikipedia to exclude people with views I despise. I just don't want them to rip pages out of the books or put salt in the sugar dispenser.
That sounds like vandalism; I'm on record as in favour of banning vandals. But the discussion that sparked the analogy was all of this stuff about expert approved subsets/forks/overlays/etc.
