Just because a viewset is shared by the majority, no matter how overwhelming that majority, the majority has no authority over the dissenting individual.
wikipedia, though, is fundamentally a community based on certain shared views. Somebody who doesn't share the most fundamental views of a community can't be a productive member of that community. (Views that you don't have to share to be a productive member are, by definition, not fundamental views. Groups of people that don't share fundamental views aren't communities)
Anybody who wants to be in a community of different values can start a new one.
