I'm tire of the thread I started at the ED forum not receiving any attention, so I'm starting a thread on the topic here as well.

On August 9, 2010, I noticed that Jimbo interfered with a GNAA article in the userspace. This was also the day I realized that I needed a WR account in order to talk to the WP critics.

Not much happened to Riffic's article, but on August 27, 2010, "Murdox" (possibly a GNAA sympathizer or member) created his own GNAA article in the userspace. Less than a hour later, PeterSymonds deleted the article and blocked Murdox. Alison reversed these actions.

Today, a MfD case is being held. So the question is: Should these sorts of articles be allowed in the userspace?
