I had not realised that you had left.  I am new to WP.  I am not that familiar with how WP operates.  Knowing, now, what happened to you is a warning to me and to others.  The lesson is that NPOV is just hypocrisy.  You have my sympathy.  You tried to defend WP and we can see the result.  There are a group of bullies here, and bully is the appropriate word.  They will have their own way, come what may.  I can understand your sentiment “well, it's not worth the hassle, is it?”  As for me, I will take some time off.  I admire the stand you took.
