New Rule - Anti <> Not Pro Enough

Not being pro-something enough does not make one anti-something. Case in point: conservative Christians often like to claim that mainstream culture is Anti-Christian. In fact, some of them even started their own websites in response to perceived bias in popular mainstream sites. For example, Conservapedia was created as a substitute to Wikipedia and GodTube a substitute of YouTube.

A commonly cited evidence of anti-Christian bias in Wikipedia is that the Wikipedia editorial policy allows, gasp, the use of BCE for BC and ACE for AD. What an outrage.

All adults should know that besides being anti or pro about something, there's another position, and that is being neutral. Not sure what that means? Just ask the bloggers who combed the internet to find He Kexin's real age what's happening in South Ossetia.
