Bad bandwagon to jump onto

"wikipedia and the first amendment - now to be re-amended to say 'anyone can edit wikipedia unless danny disapproves of them'."
So the fact we disapprove of EDO telling lies on wikipedia is rather contentious on IM. I disapprove of EDO so they must be okay ?
“ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ”
A platitude that IM-UK is so far incapable of living up to.
