I don't think I've seen anyone complaining about the ID Cabal that is doing so from a viewpoint of advocating a straight-faced treatment of Intelligent Design. The problem is that this group of editors apparently adopted a set of group behaviors for driving off ID advocates from these articles - and then proceeded to apply this thug-like intimidation tactic to anyone who crossed any one of them, anywhere on the wiki.
That stuff isn't cool, no, but I can see why one side may be upset. A straight NPOV treatmeant of ID would be to label it what the scientific community and mainstream global (we can safely ignore the irrelevant American Christian Fundamentalists who have no authority on anything outside their homes or certain Red States and are a faded minority whackadoodle group) community label ID: science fiction. ID is up there with Lord Xenu swooping out of the volcano to infect us with Vulcan brain herpes or whatever it is he does.
And this is speaking as a Christian.
Indulging fanatics is a problem that needs to be stamped out on there. I was following the Prem Rawat stuff the other day and it hurt my brain. Any and every even barely negative thing about the guy from any kind of mainstream media is stamped down and debated to the most absurd degree by people known to be church officers under his cult, or church, or whatever it is. Same thing with the ID stuff. Its ridiculous.
