I appreciate this concern, and I have it, too.  But whenever I've
looked into it, 172/Abe has worked reasonably well with others.

I'm a bit constrained here because I myself come from an extremely
strong libertarian POV, very different from Abe's, and so I have to be
very careful not to let my own political perspective inappropriately
enter into my analysis.

What matters here is a willingness to work well with others towards
NPOV, not where you come from personally.
