[edit] Removed the Kooks Section

Contrary to my mis-spelt edit summary [1], I removed the Kooks section because it was blatantly *POV* not NPOV, as well as being unsourced. Listing real life people in an online encyclopedia as "kooks", which IMO is entirely subjective, is just begging for problems both legal and otherwise. This is different from the "kook awards" of the AUK article in that it's NPOV to state that a group "awarded" somebody with the title "kook of the month", but very much POV to state that a person IS a kook.

[edit] Yeah, OK

I didn't add the "Kooks" section but what I recall of it didn't strike me as being erroneous or unfair. But if there were the possibility of legal problems I'd be just as happy with leaving the section but changing the designation from "kooks" to something legally sustainable. Maybe "non-productive irritants" would be a possibility.

But I'm just blathering - I have no interest in doing that actual work, simple though it might be. Minasbeede 18:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
