PS in reference to the OP, sometimes people get a little too bound up in the 'human rights' issues. You can talk about these people's inalienable rights, but that's pretty much bullshit when they're not going to be hurt. It's just like excluding someone from a group of friends, it's not like hanging them. The guys deserve to fuck off and stop editing wiki. | ||

No, having an article about a religion doesn't make it biased. Scientologists Made the article biased by altering it. | ||

That "small group of passionate people" will almost always disproportionately influence the article because they care so much more about it.

X was a prophet of God who wrote the inspired Z. vs X is believed by the Y church to have been a prophet of God who wrote the inspired Z. See how one is much more biased than the other? Sure, a Scientologist is probably the most qualified to write the articles, but if they don't write them from an objective point of view, then they're in violation of wikipedia's terms of service. | ||

Clearly not. It's clear that the scientologists were just writing to make themselves look better anyway. From this statement you made I doubt you will be willing to argue rationally anyway, there wasn't any sort of thought put into the difference between a SCIENTIST and a RELIGIOUS NUT. | ||

actually youre right, lol. our collection is terribly small, its mostly just a place for JrHigh and low-income folks to use the internet for free. thats like 90% of our activity. which is fine with me, but its more of an internet hub than a library. | ||

But banning all Scientology IPs is pretty bad. I mean, other than being scientologists, these people could be perfeclty intelligent citizens capable of contributing to various wikipedia articles on other topics. this may be true but if they were indeed that intelligent then they should have realized something like this would have happened and thus tried to spread the word of scientology in some other ways for example u don't see us Christians getting banned for editing stuff about evolution or w.e | ||
