I entirely agree with you Jacques.

However, when you claim that neutrality is not a
universal concept, is purely an american concept,
should not influence the way of writing in a french
speaking website. And that lastly, the current NPOV
might even be illegal in France... Sorry, but I find
this a bit worrying.

While there are rules which should absolutely be
local, other principles should not. I am currently a
bit perplex.
