Wikipedia is not an asylum. Jimbo Wales' words on 2004-02-26:
To answer something Erik said earlier -- I have no plans at all to be running an asylum. This is a serious encyclopedia project. We *do* have to make our changes conservatively and slowly, so as to make sure that we preserve our open spirit to the maximal degree possible.
But some people are just not suitable for editing here, and that's just a simple brute fact.
