Repeated falsification of Tabor's views by several IP's was judged by an admin to be vandalism.  That is why the article was locked.  Admins don't lock articles for violations of OR.  I have reread WP:NPA.  I agree with you that I should not have called the IPs religious bigots.  Rather, I should have said that their vandalism was religious bigotry, because they knowingly falsified a secondary source and replaced it with their own theological POV.  

No, you should have called their actions "vandalism". Bigotry is something different.  (smile back)
