what WP cannot tolerate(Hch's 172 page)

Wikipedia can survive temporary crappy content just fine... can accomodate a vandal masquerading as a useful member of the editing community. What it cannot tolerate is the creation of a reality or even a perception that sysops are here as gatekeepers. That privilege should be reserved for the editorship as a whole, and subverting that even in the slightest degree is worse than 2000 articles stating that John Paul II buttfucks all the cardinals. [Cimon, to 172]
