I'm with David.

When the stormfront people started talking about taking over
wikipedia, I assured everyone that we will not allow that to happen.
I meant that.  We will change the rules if we have to do so.

But David's right... we don't need to change the rules yet.  The rules
already take into account plenty of ways to deal with this sort of
thing.
