if you think that's bad, just try to tone down the rhetoric at the  
Intelligent Design article.  (it's better now than it was in 2005 to  
2007, but when i tried to make this "Featured article" more neutral in  
fact and tone, the result was that i, [[User:Rbj]], was eventually  
banned from Wikipedia.)  i edit WP now as an anonymous IP and i'll  
take a look at the IRV article.
