This is highly quotable. May I? While I agree with
nearly everything James has said, I disagree that EofT
deserves banning. Punishing one child and not the
other is a typical manifestation of lopsided parenting
- usually resulting in a
great despartity between how they are each treated,
and consequently how they each continue to behave.
Banning EofT, despite his rudeness, and inability to
take good sound advice -- and not banning RK -- in all
fairness, would only exacerbate the percieved problems
of rampant anti-Semitism and philo-Semitism on
Wikipedia.
"Rampant philo-Semitism"? This is an accusation right up
there, for what it says about the accuser, with people who
called White civil rights activists "nigger lovers".
