I never said psychotic.  I never implied psychotic. 
You are making a straw man argument.  However, I fail
to see how suggesting that people who want to
bowdlerize Wikipedia would be more comfortable at
yahooligans, is any more of a personal attack than the
suggestion that those of who don't feel that any real
encyclopedia should be censored are somehow
pornographers.
