Discussing points pro- and con- on this issue should be
discussed on the appropriate project page.

However, I do find it revealing that you seem to be saying
that we should not follow NPOV "if the world isn't neutral
about itself."  That proves Steve's point.  Many people
here are essentially admitting that they will simply not
follow our NPOV policy if it upsets some of their core
beliefs, or standard conventions.

I don't quite understand why you say this, since you have
in effect agreed with this point in a great many cases.  I
have watched with interest as you have worked with many
others here - including me - against a spate of neo-Nazi
biased statements and articles.  I'm quite glad that you
recognize the problem and often so often and so hard work
to counter it!
