Look, Nobody is forcing any moral views on anybody. 
 
What morall judgement is implied by a ban?  I think there is none at
all, a ban is simply that, and all it means is that we'd rather go about
working on our encyclopedia project without the kind of "help" Helga is
currently equipped to give.

Is it Helga's natural right to be included in the team which develops a
free encyclopedia?  I don't think so.  We are doing something worth
doing, and if Helga is making it harder to do that we don't need to feel
bad about not including her in the wikipedia team.  

Do you expect that the red cross is forcing their views on others when
they fail to accept any volinteers who only want to handle blood, and
who are infected with a life-threatening disease.  Or to make the
example less extreeme, the Red Cross is unlikely to an clumsy person to
cary around expencive containers of medication.  My point is that the
Red Cross, and like most volenteer groups, isn't under the impression
that they are required to let a volenteer do anything she wants, even if
the labor of that volenteer is counterproductive.  So can you explain to
me why a free encyclopedia project should be be any different?
