Should Wikipedia ban people from editing?

Controversy has erupted among Wikipedia's core contributors, after a rogue editor revealed that Wikipedia's top administrators are using a secret insider mailing list to crackdown on perceived threats to their power.

Is this merely trying to protect free speech on a site where free speech is supposedly sacred, or does the list allow the "ruling clique" to push its agenda without scrutiny from the community at large?

That may be the worst-constructed survey I've seen in a year. See my comment on the survey results page for reasons.

...and that takes some doing around the scholars of Wikipedia. But to be fair it is only a little worse than the Chinese community college students who translated their survey's text using a beta version of Babelfish. That's the one that prove Mr. Wales was the Sole Flounder. Or was it squid jellyfish?
