I dont know if I would find Martins argument compelling or not because Ive never been able to understand what it is  I printed out the interview and have read it over and over and have read the discussion above over and over as well as other such discussions in different places  but I cant understand it  Its not that I find it unpersuasive its that I find it incomprehensible  As I said somewhere else on this page I think SPOV is a distraction not a useful term I dont understand Fills use of it any more than I understand Martins and I agree wholeheartedly with MastCell that SPOV serves as a wedge issue to polarize the discussion when what we need is an understanding of common ground   So in the interest of educating this confused newbie about NPOV I would like Martin and whoever else would like to chime in to explain to me using an example of a fringe topic and without invoking the term SPOV what NPOV would look like  I would appreciate it very much thanks
