I'm less inclined to give anyone as much play as RE was given.  RE's only virtue was superficial civility on the talk page.  This should be a lesson perhaps.
I find that comment amusing as well - freedom of speech isn't the same thing as "any idiot gets to sharpen their POV".  Too bad we didn't get any WRONG VERSION-style complaints, though we did get a comment on Jimbo's page.  TWV stuff is always funny.
