Sigh. Sometimes, it really seems like there's nowhere one can go to avoid
the pro-Jewish vs. anti-Jewish insanity... (You'll note I don't say
anti-Semitic. There's a simple reason for this: Arabs are Semites too, as
well as many others.)
Stevertigo has a clear and strong anti-Israel bias... so RickK sees pretty
much everything SV does as anti-Semitism, despite the difference between
these things.
Also, see [[Wikipedia_talk:Deletion_policy#Unencyclopedic]] - RK somehow
reads a big personal attack, including "I'm an idiot and deserved to be
pilloried, impaled, and set out on an ant hill." into my irritation at use
of the word unencyclopedic and listing for deletion of pages that don't need
it... there's a large difference between criticism of one's actions and
attacks upon one's right to exist.

Everyone needs to calm the hell down, really.

And suggesting Steve be blocked from editing Jew-related articles? While it
emotionally appeals at first, it's a terrible precedent. What's next,
preventing Hindus from editing Buddhism topics? Republicans from editing
articles on Democrats? Liberals from editing the Ayn Rand article? It's the
antithesis of neutrality.
