There are views which are unacceptable in civilised society.

This whole debate is a nonsense (it damn well should be acceptable to
block someone on sight for being a Nazist) and only serving to further
disillusion me as to the complete lack of any controls which many
Wikipedians' are advocating.

I do not want to be associated with something that has no standards whatsoever.

But we'll see how things go - either Wikipedia will get its act
together or we will get bad publicity from some of the awful stuff
allowed on at the moment, and people will stop coming here.

I mean really - if someone was to trawl through wiki right now for the
stuff not palatable to the mainstream - mail it all to a bunch of
magazines - would Wikipedia EVER be respected by anyone but a small
group of liberals?
