This is why I'm grateful to Jimbo and the Wikipedia community. Even though the server owner thinks I'm a "nut" (no offense meant, I'm sure, and none taken) -- I am generally polite and scrupulous about NPOV and cooperating with my fellow contributors.
In any other forum, my pro-absolutist and pro-Unificationist views would be drowned out in a chorus of derision.
Whoever dreamed up the idea of an NPOV encyclopedia is a genius.
