But it has some negative effects that they don't care about and we do. For instance, modifying our articles when a hostage is threatened encourages other terrorists to take hostages. How long until some terrorist demands that we alter our Jenin article to say that Israel committed a massacre, or else they start executing hostages, now that we've demonstrated that we can be coerced in that way? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
