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.
What's nice about Wikipedia is that noone *can* rip pages out of the books. They can put salt in the sugar dispenser.
