Indeed. The point is that those editors

points-of-view *in the real world*, not just on their own opinions.

Yeah, I was wondering what happened - if only we could edit our posts, hey?
The more I use Wikipedia, the more I wish that facility existed. :)
But you keep on saying what WP "should" be
like. I'm not disagreeing with
you on this. I'm merely saying that what actually happens is often a long
way from ideal.
Ah! Ok -- I understand where this difference of opinion is arising from
(and maybe it isn't actually a difference of opinion at all).
Cheers,
