Don't let folks get apoplectic. Use Hegelian dialectic!

  In time of need call on the editor's creed:
      Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!
  If you think what you read should be NPOV-ed,
      Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!
  So plant a good seed
  And do a good deed
  And don't ever stop until all have agreed
  And then they will call you a real Wikiped-
  Ian.
      Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!
