"Fear and ignorance"? Seriously,
let's tone down the rhetoric here,
please. How is saying that Wikipedia has no obligation to be a Nazi
soapbox motivated by "fear and ignorance"?
Please be showing where wikipedia has been acting as a nazi soapbox.
No obligation to provide a soapbox to Nazis via a userpage. You know
perfectly well what I'm saying.
How is saying
that
Wikipedia should have rules of conduct that dictate that certain
behaviors are outrageous, rules of conduct which are entirely similar
to rules used in many, many other private spheres, motivated by "fear
and ignorance"?
Because in this case they would appear to be backed by the appeal to
popularity logical fallacy.
Whatever. There's nothing fallacious about saying that these rules of
conduct which work perfectly fine in most private and semi-public
spheres will work perfectly fine here.
